CF '09 is reported as the best ever :) initial estimates put the crowd for the 3 days at 30000-35000. With saturday breaking all records at around 15000, and even sunday matching the previous best.
This is the view on saturday, looking down the crowd to Spitfire Alpha Lima landing on 12.

And these are some posted for others on a kiwi forum i'm part of
Other than the Red Chequers this was the RNZAF's involvement in the show, the Huey's "Iroquoi Black", Sioux's "Sioux Blue", and Harvard 1015
As mentioned there was no other RNZAF involvement, despite NZ7572 having visited Woodbourne on both the weds and thurs, and a Seasprite also being noted parked at Woodbourne on thursday.
This is from the friday display, where another member was offered the opportunity to fly with the leader in the Red Chequers display.
