    WoW day 3

    March 31 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Last show day and we got there a bit later than previously as we’d decided to stick it out until the end and endure the car park leaving horror.

    Not quite as busy as Saturday but the sun was still shinin’, the planes were still flyin’, and the vibe was still exhilaratin’.

    The schedule was similar to the Saturday one, and it was great to see the L39 Albatross jets for a third time (I love the roar as they shoot past) a pretty decent Red Arrows replacement!

    At the end of the day there was an ‘air battle’ where the vintage planes flew together in a mock raid, with simulated explosions. It was thrilling (and moving), as they referenced WWII. A great end to the show and weekend.

    We waited a while before running the car park gauntlet and were out much quicker this time. Reckon the high viz kids had finally worked out how to manage things!
