50 Year Anniversary of Wellington Airport

Today was the 50th Anniversary of Wellington Airport and me and Nolan decided to check it out ! We both love airplanes and our house looks out over the airport. Airplane in Maori is "wakaririrangi"and in dutch "vliegtuig", wonder which one Nolan will say first... It was a beautiful sunny day with light clouds and (a small wonder) hardly any wind !

On our way to the Airport we were greeted by this Harvard plane , Nolan didnt quite know what to think of it and was a bit scared when it swooped down low and flew directly above us. The Harvard is part of The RNZAF’s Ohake-based Historic Flight.

In the terminal it was one big party and lots to see and do !

One of Peter Jackson's toys i believe..

The legendary Huey helicopter ! Awesome to see one up close, a true classic in the sky !

Up close with the Harvard plane.

Helicopter winching and water spraying trucks , Nolan loved it !

The Harvard going for another spin !

Woohaa !

Here he is doing a 'burnout' , rapidly turning the plane with the smokebombs on , looks like a car doing a burnout , maybe the best photo i have ever taken , please click to enlarge !

We love the Huey!

Things you cant take on an airplane...

Wellingtons finest: The Real Hot Bitches !

View of the airport from our street... yes it was quite a walk back but what a great day it was !
Happy birthday Wellington Airport, we enjoyed the party !
