Well all the major airshows are over for 2007 in this country, and the calendar is clear right through till AVEX 2007 at Mystery Creek, Hamilton on the 11th to 13th of October 2007
See their site here

Is anyone planning to come to this event? I'm wondering if we should have a Waikato forum meet that weekend? Mystery Creek and Rukuhia are side by side locations basically, and they are about 10 minutes drive from my place. So I shall hopefully be there. And if there are going to be some forum members around for the weekend maybe we can organise a barbecue or a night in the pub or something here in Cambridge.
By the way for anyone booking accommodation I'd recommend Cambridge or Leamington because it's probably quicker and definately easier to get to in the traffic of a big event lkie this, avoiding the city traffic of Hamilton. Alternately you're welcome to pitch a tent or park your campervan on our lawn or in the small park next to our place to save money, etc.
I still haven't worked out yet if there is to be an air display (ie flying) at this event of if it's all ground displays. They used to do this here back in the olden days at Rukuhia and Mystery Creek. There was a massive one in 1977 and another in 1980. Huge trade displays and also air displays. I hope this one wil have flying.
