OMAKA 26.01.2016
RED LETTER DAY.
It started with a visit to the Aviation Heritage Centre.This is a display of WW One aircraft, uniforms, medals letters etc. The display is a collaboration by Sir Peter Jackson, Weta Workshops & others.
The following photos will not do full justice to the calibre & scale of the exhibits.
Absolutely outstanding.
Read this if you can – an amazing feat.
ANOTHER ITEM FROM TERRY’S BUCKET LIST TICKED OFF.
Today Terry got to fly in an 1942 open cockpit Stearman. He shared the flight with a guy who didn’t want to go on his own & Catherine was happy to give up her seat. (Happy? No estatic.) We shared the cost & the two guys squeezed into the front cockpit.

How amazing! What an experience to fly in the 1942 Stearman.

Looks like your having a great time, hope to catch up somewhere in the south island in March. Stay safe
The video worked and I had palpitations just imagining being in the small airplane. Lovely views and great pics. Sx
