Originally posted by zkarj All the signs are good for tomorrow. Weather behaving, my aircraft is already on the ground at Wellington, checked in, camera batteries charged, snacks purchased. Zoom zoom!
As far as I know Kiwi110Auto and Kiwizinho will be there also. I'm the 6'2" one with the grey Gran Turismo cap and likely wearing my K-5 on a BlackRapid shoulder-hip strap, if anyone wants to come up and say hi.
My wife was there today volunteering, and once entries had closed she was allowed to go onto the Gold Pass grandstand. I'm seriously jealous! She said the fireworks display was one of the best she's ever seen, and perfectly coordinated to the music.
From her description of the grounds, it sounds as though this show is turning into a tribute to Fred Dagg. If you don't take your gumboots, you won't know what to do.
Maybe that explains why the Catalina is back this year. Ground suited to amphibians.
I wasn't sure How I'd identify myself, but apparently there are fancy dress prizes, so I'll most likely have a 5 year old ANZAC nurse in tow, as my daughter is determined she is going to win.
