  2. Was at Ardmore (the GA Airport shown) at the Mossie's official public rollout.
    Amazing, the crowd was huge, the display was awesome, the old (ex airforce) guys had wet eyes. And the smell of fresh paint burning off from behind the exhaust stacks as it pulled up right in front of me....
    I love this aspect of NZ, we have a great industry going, putting these amazing pieces of engineering back in the air..
