Air Shows and Events

Well - I don't get to as many of these as I would like. These days that's generally about one big show and three smaller events per year. I'm told that I went to my first (held at RNZAF Base Ohakea) as a babe in arms. I'm pretty sure that's the only one I can't remember. The following page contains links to the airshow/ event reports. The linked pages contain a variety of images (with descriptions) and comments on each show/ event.

I had been a bit slack in keeping these pages up to date - having tended to concentrate on the aircraft pages. You may have already found some aircraft photos with a broken link to a show report. Over the last 18 months I have been endeavouring to get these up to date, but new events keep coming along. At this stage I have completed all the events for 2000, and hope to get the backlog down under a year or so soon. So there are a number of links listed below as still under construction, (but I've got that down to 8 out of 37).
