Manawatu trip 03-04-2022

Did a trip up to the Manawatu today due the the Heritage flight coming out of Ohakea down to Christchurch.

Got to Ohakea just in time for them to come out, the formation flight consisted of 2x RNZAF Beech T-6C Texans, Grumman Avenger and Vickers Spitfire.

Here is what i saw at Ohakea anyway:

Visiting Aircraft:
NZ7001 Lockheed C-130H

NZ7003 Lockheed C-130H

Local Aircraft
NZ1401 Beech T-6C Texan
NZ1407 Beech T-6C Texan

NZ1411 Beech T-6C Texan
NZ2353 Beech B300

Sadly the Spitfire didn't join the formation whilst over Ohakea, so this was best I could get.

Then with the nice weather, decided to go over to Feilding, which was a good call, was super busy there and so heaps of aircraft around
