Saturday 19 January 2013 was a wonderful day.
It started of a bit cloudy but became so hot and clear we couldn’t have wished for better.
The trip to Masterton started at 8 o’clock.
We parked the car at just after 9 am, in the 5th row of parked cars near the entrance gates.
It was about a 30 minutes walk to the airstrip.
What a sight!
Planes everywhere and so colorful.
The flying program was awesome.

They must have been really thrilling to see and hear.
Was a “hell” of a noise all day. We had a good space next to the fence to park ourselves.(That is how it works the early bird catches the worm or gets the best place)
I can well imagine.
Our air show is in September. It’s the biggest in the nation in terms of planes and exhibits, and attendees. It’s always so much fun.
It was spectacular I must say.
