Air to Air (Hauraki Gulf), May 2005.

Despite the seasonal weather (i.e. windy and wet) we managed to find a break in the weather last week to get up for some air to air photographs over the Hauraki Gulf and Waiheke Island. The photographer was Peter Clark and the camera-ship a Nanchang CJ6 piloted by Richard (Dickie) Veale. TMG was flown by Bryan Gault.

Below are a sample of the shots taken, copies of these photographs and enlargements are available from Peter Clark, contact Peter at peteair@xtra.co.nz.

Classic Fighters, Omaka, Easter 2005.

Classic Fighters is held at Omaka at the top end of the South Island of New Zealand every second year. The next Classic Fighters event will be 2007 but next year (Easter 2006) we can look forwards to the bi-annual Warbirds over Wanaka airshow.
