I have changed it Simon, but which airport is this at? I already had the NZ Aerobatic Championships on the calendar as being at Waipukurau. Is that the same airport as Rotorua? I'm not sure.

ah no - Waipukurau is in Southern Hawkes Bay, Rotorua is, well Rotorua... For Simon and co, theres a "Daylight Savings" fly in at Tokoroa,on the 18th so if you're passing somewhere near there on your way down, feel free to buzz us!  |

So there's two seperate events on the same weekend then? I'll add Rotorua to the calendar for those days then.

Has anyone the exact details/timing of the event at Rotorua? There would seem to be no airfield closure listed in the current AIP Supplements (as there usually is for an air display rather than a fly-in). I would be interested in flying down from Wpai, but I need more info first.

Bruce do you have more details of Tokoroa, on the 18th, Harvard’s may stop in as well if I can give them more details.
Flyernzl: Rotorua is a Fly-in however the Harvard formation team will be doing a practice over the field.

Hi Simon, sounds cool if the Harvards are passing through Tokoroa as well. The fly in is a sort of "celebration of flying" thing with models and all sorts of sport Aircraft Harvards and a thunder Mustang would certainly attract some public interest!. The main organiser for the fly in is Murray Belfield (Trans Tasman jodel pilot) ph 0-7-886 7995. Most visiting aircraft will be arriving mid morning. There will be a BBQ on the field if you're going to be landing. Tokoroa has an excellent sealed strip which should be adequate for higher performance machines - some of the local eccentric engineers use it to test thier go carts powered by valveless pulsejets!

It is intended that the Harvard formation team and Thunder Mustang will do a fly past at Tokoroa around 10.15 hrs on our way to Rotorua.
