 | Warbirds Over Wanaka 2008 Hey all  I got back from the Wanaka '08 airshow at about six o'clock last night after I spent a whole day down there. It was awesome I can tell you!! I have to say the most amazing part was when the F-111 from Amberley AFB in Queensland came over and did a "turn and burn" three times. I'm going to go back in 2010, and I'll keep going back because it's an awesome show.

| Likewise, last I heard the AFC had sold off most or all of their aircraft - I'm interested to see what we've got left! |
