I'm not really in the aviation scene (so I can't sort anything out ATM) , but if I win lotto I'll learn to fly and buy a Zero to fly people around in every August 29th. Deal?

It was 'delicate'! Haha... like a butterfly as opposed to a native hawk! lol
I didn't barf either......
Oh, and we were members of the Kaitaia Aero Club many moons ago when Steve had his pilots license, and got to fly in some of the planes that frequently dropped in. The Aero Club up there often had open days for the public to come and view and have a ride in, especially when 'special' planes had been organised to fly in! It was awesome!... and expensive!!

When we were in the Aero Club up North, there was... It was awesome too!

Are there any events like that going on, still?

Well, it's over 15 years since I moved away from the Far North, and have only been back once ( and that was once too much! ), so I couldn't tell you. Steve says that when he went back recently, much of it had changed, what with PCness gone mad... I think all airports had to fence and keep the public out on account of terrorism or some such! Gone are the days of hooning around on the airfield at night chasing bunnies in the rear wheel drive car!
I certainly haven't seen any events, like those that were held up in Kaitaia, down here in Whakatane....

Yes, because we all know (what with the Northland, New Zealand being the homeland of Muslim extremists) , if security slipped we might have a national crisis on our hands!

If you want a ride in a Mustang, it can be arranged. Call in on the warbirds at Ardmore and show them the colour of your money. The price will have gone up by now, but the last time I had a mate go up in the back seat, it cost him $1000 for half an hour.I know what I like
If you are serious, PM me and I will make some enquiries.
I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

Last time I spoke to Graham Bethell (the owner/pilot of ZK TAF "NZ2415"), he indicated something like $2500-3000 per hour for the Mustang.
He has just spent a truckload of dosh having the prop inspected/overhauled in the states
