Omaka Airshow 14Apr01

[gtf4j2m]

As there are no shows here this year, I have scanned in some photo's from my first trip to New Zealand in April 2001. I will put some of the rest of the trip later.

We were staying in Christchurch and drove up to Blenheim on the Friday to attend the show on the Saturday before continuing to Nelson to see more family on the Sunday morning, We hadn't booked accommodation in advance and were lucky to find a room for the 2 nights. I have been to the Omaka show a few times since, but that first one was brilliant.
Omaka is a grass runway so anything heavy flies from Blenhein /Woodbourne.

I was going to apologise for the quality as they are scanned in photo's, but working them in Photoshop Lightroom has worked quite well. Most of them seem sharp enough.

Fantastic Graham.

i was in NZ in November last year and managed to get to Omaka, brilliant place and the museum there is outstanding...

I was desperate to get to Wanaka as well but just didn’t have sufficient time, but I was able to see most of the stuff at Ardmore.

Your photos are great mate.
