BAC Strikemaster takeoff, circuit & landing - onboard

Dave Brown takes Strikemaster '70 out for a quick spin at RNZAF Ohakea shortly before the Royal New Zealand Air Force's 75th Birthday celebration airshow at Ohakea.
Number 14 Squadron of the Royal New Zealand Air Force operated sixteen examples of the BAC Strikemaster from 1972 through to 1992 when it was replaced by the Aermacchi MB 339CB.
This aircraft is one of the ex-RNZAF fleet that was initially sold to Australia and operated there as a civilian warbird before returning to New Zealand skies in late 2010.
This video footage (and more) is now available on our BluRay and/or DVD disk featuring the displays from the RNZAF's 75th Anniversary airshow: www.aviationfil...

Yes it would be the same one -- there's only the one Strikemaster aircraft flying in NZ at the moment.

[@glitchinthematrix5761]

What role does this plane fill for NZ? And is it fly by wire? Doesn't look like old school controls. But I am not a pilot.

[@flyinbrianvids]

Not the most eye pleasing plane but I love it.

[@allgood6760]

Cool!.. I prefer the original paint scheme... 👍🇳🇿

[@HistAvFilmUnit]

Fair enough! But thankfully this colour scheme only lasted a year or so.

Beautiful video. I like "unusual" planes.

[@FlyTheFilms]

haha, had a feeling you'd be Filming down at Ohakea for this event!

[@madpetrolhead]

Is this the same Strikemaster that was in Napier for the Art Deco Weekend, love the paint scheme, really suits the planes lines, very nice.
