Welcome to Wanaka

f111,

Hi folks,

arrived at Wanaka last night (Thursday) and met Dad's cousin Mary. She showed us to the extremely nice holiday home she'd booked for us, and we all went straight to bed! (ish)

Today we were at the first day of "Warbirds Over Wanaka". No official displays, but lots of practising (where they apparently show off more). ;-) They certainly didn't seem so worried about flying straight at the crowd!

The pic is of an F111 doing it's trademark "dump & burn". No curry jokes please Rob. That's what happens when you dump fuel and turn on re-heat (after-burners for those whose aircraft knowledge comes from Top-Gun!).


;-)

Probably many more plane pics in the next few days! Thats all for now...

p.s. Dad's phone is now fully operational - hurrah (at last!)
