Commentator "Give him a hand..."

 

For what? Wrecking his airplane?

 

I know it's hard to see over the nose of a tail dragger after you're on the ground, but surely part of the approach checklist is "runway clear of obstacles"???

It's a great spectacle. (The event generally). Another example of the Kiwi's punching above their weight.. Nev

I flew in to WOW in a C172 in 2000. It was a club trip & we stayed in Queenstown & there was a temp control set up with a temp VTC with reporting points etc. It's the only time I've been No 10 on final. 600 light aircraft flew in on the Saturday. The show was fantastic & the location spectacular. It was a real buzz flying in & feeling part of it all.

So sorry that i missed it, as my partner and I were in Queenstown and nearby Arrowtown only two weeks ago.

 

Next time, i'll pick the dates we travel.. Grrrr!
