Here in Hawaii on holiday from Christchurch ,miss these f16 but seen rapter f22 and Apache helicopters here in Hawaii .never throught I see them for real. Pera brown
Yeah, that is probably at their full speed but I don't think they were allowed to fly at that so it would've taken about 20 minutes. They need permission and or a place to fly at mach two.
What about the NZ Air Farce They were gunna get the F16 but didn't They were gunna get 2 C17's but didn't They were gunna get the P8 but looks like they won't They instead anchor the vintage part of the air show
Blame former PM Helen Clarke. She said NZ doesn't need a fighter wing and cancelled the F-16 acquisition off the USA as soon as she entered office in 2000.Making NZ a fucking laughing stock. Australia is busy upgrading the hell out if theirs. I guess NZ can ask Aus to help out. NZ dole bludgers.
Awesome.. Thanks from Wgtn 👍🇳🇿
I just love how the ground crew just casually ducks under the jet blast at 1:35 :D
i think they got hit by the moving thing too lmao
Wow

Was this Good Friday because I saw the two F16's fly over Queenstown that day.
I can't remember but every day they were here both planes flew down to Wanaka except for the days that the airshow was on.
Thanks
They said at the airshow it takes around 9 minutes to fly from CHCH to Wanaka too.

I'll bet it did a blistering sub sonic wings level pass at 500 feet. Whooo effing hoo.
Mini air base

Richard Nixon so true labour think it's more important to reward scum sitting on welfare year after year than upgrade our military
The NZ military is a work for the dole alternative
Oh ok so how much did the Nats upgrade the military?

@Xavier Bachop
yes they were purchasing the F-16s. It was a fucking done deal.
The Russian MIGs are coming vlidmir Putin said nz can have them give them our surport
How embarrassing our airforce is. So we had to borrow some f 16 from another country for the Wanaka airshow.
why was that f16 pilot fucking with his joy stick with the ground crew working they should have shut him down chalk the wheels and walk away.
If two came to Christchurch, why did only one come to Wanaka?
Good Question. One was only going to be at the Airshow and the other one was the backup.
Correct, always got to have a spare! As much as you want to think they don’t break, $hit happens.
WTF. They walking around amateurs!
