Default Warbirds OVer Wanaka

Warbirds Over Wanaka is a 2 yearly airshow extravagansa held in Wanaka, New Zealand. This would be one of the largest airshows in the Southern hemisphere with 62,000 people in attendance just on Saturday alone!

Above is a link to a range of aircraft that flew over the weekend. We borrowed an F1.11 form the ozzies for the show as well. The RNZAF was in attendance with Helis and everything from the CT4 Airtrainer to the Boeing 757.

We had 2 Aerobatic world champions flying the Sukhoi. The first being the Womens aerobatic champion from Russia, Svetlana Kapanina accompanied by the Mens aerobatic champion Jurgis Kairys

And of course star of the show was Frazer Briggs (Bogan) flying the 3M Comp-Arf Red Bull Extra 330. Installation 1 of the pics below showing dry dusty conditions at the airfield with the majestic snow covered Southern Alps in the distance. Much more to come when I receive the CD from Aunty with the pictures.
