"Lest We Forget"🌹

On 25th April 1915, thousands of Australian & New Zealand soldiers sacrificed so much for us in the Gallipoli Peninsula Turkey.
No military flypasts today but here is a photo of a Royal New Zealand Air Force Boeing P-8A Poseidon conducting a flypast over Anzac Park (Nelson) last year to comemorate Anzac Day.

I was very lucky to catch The Republic of Singapore Air Force Lockheed KC-130H Hercules at Christchurch Airport.
She arrived on Wednesday morning (01/04/26)
from RNZAF Base Woodbourne and she left on Good Friday morning (03/04/26) to RAAF Base Richmond Australia.
Luckily I was in Christchurch for a few days so I was there to see the arrival & departure!
What an awesome looking Military aircraft this is!✈️

What an absolute treat to see these four Fighter Jets NZ Aero Vodochody L-39 Albertros jets at Nelson Airport New Zealand this afternoon 30/03/26.
After their overnight stay, the weather finally cleared for them to carry on down to Wānaka to get prepared for Warbirds Over Wanaka international airshow which will take place this Easter weekend. Safe travels✈️

We didn't just have the four L-39 Albatros Jets.
A Royal Australian Air Force Lockheed Martin C-130J-30 Super Hercules did a surprise flyover at Nelson Airport New Zealand on Sunday afternoon, 29/03/26.
The RNZAF, RAAF and the USAF are currently based at RNZAF Base Woodbourne conducting a 10 day training exercise flying around the upper South Island with their C-130J Hercules aircraft.
The exercise involves low-level navigation & targeted load drops. Certainly not every day you see a Hercules fly around Nelson!

One of Fighter Jets NZ L-39 Albatros jets ZK-TCS (No. 88) doing a low fly past at Nelson Airport New Zealand. FYI this was back in 2018.
88 used to be based at Nelson Airport for about eight years before she moved to Tauranga to join the commercial operator in late 2018.
Great to have her back after nearly eight long years along with her 3 other friends!✈️
