Mrs I16 was with me at the first Warbirds on Parade, Easter 1988 - we have not missed one since.
.....every second Easter .......... then it must be Wanaka NZ for a few days.

Am working the event again...not sure of arrangements for Saturday night...no doubt we'll be in town somewhere!!
Have only missed 2 shows since 1988...kids were both born in April '98 and '00...bit of bad planning!!!!!

Any PPRuNe'rs going to Wanaka this Easter??
Does the NZ 'Chapter' have a favourite 'watering hole' over there.
Have been promising myself to go for a few years now, and this
Easter, myself and elder son will be enjoying the show.
Cheers
Griffo

OK.... venue "Shooters" (on the waterfront)... out near the balcony (if you can get there)... Saturday night... 8:30pm... wear a hat!!! In fact I'll be there most nights from now on!
Bugger, I'd love to be there, but I'm working through the whole weekend, at least our long term forecast shows that it'll be a good weekend for it! Enjoy it for all those going!
G'day Guys and Gals,
Well I don't know about a 'hard hat'....
But if yas spot a l'il ole fat man wearing a 'RACWA' cap...
I'll buy ONE OF YOU a beer! Or two....Or three.... Or.....
Cheers, Griffo

WTF?!!
I was there......where were YOU!
Travelled all the way from WA....only took 25 hrs due to Air N Z "tech defect", other than the pilot speaking funny.
Did the FO NZ176 make it?
We are having a FAT time-that's OZ for WOW!
Warbirds over Wanaka.....very well organised, very professional, a sight to behold, the authorities in OZ could learn a lot!!!!!!
Congratulations to all....well done!!
Pity about the "Shooters"....we was the only ones there it seems.

Like Airsic and others......Only travelled for what seemed 'ages' to the 'Mecca'
of Aviation in the 'Pucifuc'.....
Had a really GOOD TIME...Met a lot of very nice like minded peoples - Aviators - but NOT at the proclaimed 'SHOOTERS'!
Didn't see a lot of hats...only two other blokes with - and that was 'Airsick' & 'Windwood', a new member!
Looked around - and NO other 'Pruners' in sight!!
Boo Hoo.
Carried on regardless.......
And, to 'Wombat', the '3' was magnifico...Best Compliments to Capt. Andrew Hope Esq!!
Best organised event I have ever been to! BIG congrats all round!!

Shooters
Back home tonight - what a great weekend - got caught up at Capriccio [table 12] on Saturday night.
Sorry to not make Shooters but the queue out the door and up the road to the balcony was OOTQ at 20:30
