Just so happens I,ll be in the land of the "long white cloud" during this event.
Anything else CMP related worth looking at on the south island (whoops nearly said east island).

Well I did get to go thru Wanaka 3 days before the event.
The field was bustle of last minute activity with displays being set up and even some last minute flying practice going on.
Not too much M.V. equipment on the ground yet only the resident CMP,s in the museum next to the field. Sure was sorry I couldn,t stay and watch the fun but was good to get a glimpse. Did anyone on the list get to watch the show.
Heres a link to some pics I took.

P.S. Keith note the C60L with the sliding roof hatch

If that's a still from Keefy's latest video, pass the order form!

I've seen a photo of a restored Mustang in the States with interesting noseart and nicknamed "Better than Sex" (which it possibly could be ), but this latest pic shows you can you can, er, um, have your cake and eat it.

Perhaps this is the young lady on the plane, she was seen at Wanaka:
