Thanks for those details. I'll add them to the calendar.
Quite a late airshow in the season, but I guess it is the winterless north.

I think the DC3 has some very reasonable priced seats Queens Birthday weekend Ardmore - Kerikeri - Ardmore. Don't quote me but I think it was $100 return. Could be a great weekend away with Warbirds. I would think you would have to join NZ Warbirds which is well worth the money even just to receive the news letter.

Cool, yes it does sound like a great trip, especially if the weather is good. Being a long weekend, what's the odds of that though?
Has the DC-3 been painted yet?

Taken WBW on a couple of test flights today. The radio is a bit iffy, the flap indicator doesn't work and the fuel guage is u/s. Apart from that, we're all set for the trip up there!

WBW what a lovely Aircraft that is, first flew in it twice (2 hrs) in 1988 when it was based in Woodbourne and then flew another 2 hrs in it in 1992 on an ATC, RNZAF flying scholarship. Went solo in NZ 1760, then flew it as WBW in, I think 1995 when it was at Omaka for a few days. Could you please tell me who operates it now? ;D |

RNZAF Base Auckland Aviation Sports Club Power Section, based at Whenuapai. Thats great and thanks for the picture, It looks great lovely aircraft to fly. I do remember the spade grip in the centre as being a bit of a concern to start with but once you get used to it, its a great set up. ;D |

The WARBIRDS have just CANCELLED their proposed visit to Kerikeri in view of the weather forcast for thIs weekend.
The Committee would like to thank all those who offered to give time and effort to help, and at this stage there is no prediction of a re-schedule.
BoIAC will be holding their regular 1st Sunday Supper - c/o of Debbie - as usual, wet or fine !

Shame.
