In 2001 I flew with the #RedCheckers demo team of the #RoyalNewZealandAirForce. The team disbanded in 2015 following the retirement of the CT/4E Airtrainer.

Scene from the past (2001). The #RoyalNewZealandAirForce Hueys have been retired and the Hobsonville base closed down, however No.3 Squadron is still operational, now operating A109 and NH90 #helicopters from #RNZAF Ohakea.
