Ultra-low flyby of a DC-3!

[Graelin]

Warbirds over Wanaka 2012 three great days for my Brother and myself topped off by a Ride in the DC3 over the lakes and then Aerobatics over The lake at 6pm in a Tiger Moth.
Will not be our last WAW, best time we had had for years. Are there any air shows April 2013?

I nearly ducked under the desk !!!!

This is either clever flying or stupid risk of a fine aircraft..

If you like that, have you checked out the Buffalo Airways videos on Youtube? They operate out of NorthWest Canada flying DC3, 4, and 6aircraft etc.

Bit of a trip from perth!

There is an auckland show in late jan with the nutter with the jet suit. http://www.nzairshow.com/

Can't see any warbirds in the schedule.

it is quite a dangerous occupation, and treat it with respect.
I have been known to have a bit of fun doing the job, however....

yeah aye, just like my mate guy, (moto guzzi lover) loved his job so much he left big paying post air moneys (bored him silly) to go back to dusting, till some dumb arse prick wronly fitted a part to the tail plane weakening that section so as it tore off under full load jambing the fletcher in a downwards direction... knowing Guy he would have ridden that thing right to the end, well till the engine split him in half on impact... didnt kill him tho, but the fire did, left two under 5's behind.

I used to love watching Fred Ladd coming in to Sandspit taking passengers to the Barrier. Went up with him once. Have loved the Grumman Widgeon's ever since.

Didnt see bee marine use Grumman Goose's out of Dorkland harbour, why is this ringing bells?

I was a young lad at the time. Fred went on to fly under the Harbour Bridge sometime in the 70's. I last saw him in Taupo at an Uncle's place a few years before he passed away. He was still a larriken then!

That is terrible. Bugger all going on.
I thought it was going to happen at Ardmore (which would make sense after the amazing Mossie Day!) but I guess some aircraft will just stage out of Ardmore and transit to NS for their flying routine? I was at the '88 show when the Fury was the star attraction. No room for the mustang to land...
