Warbirds Over Wanaka 2000 1

[@michaelsa]

Thanks for posting this Colin. I was lucky enough to have been at this show back in 2000. I traveled from Australia and met up with a kiwi mate in Christchurch, the deal was he did the driving and towed the caravan - I had two gold passes. So he got a free gold pass and I got free travel and accommodation. (anyone you see in the video with a yellow cap on was a gold pass holder) Absolutely the best airshow ever. I'd love to do it again one day. To anyone considering attending... - do it, just do it, you definitely will not be disappointed.
