This Sunday our SNO (Sunday Night Operations) is concentrated on movements emulating the three major RNZAF Bases in New Zealand, RNZAF Whenuapai (NZWP), RNZAF Ohakea (NZOH) and RNZAF Woodbourne (NZWB).

 

Come fly one of the currently military aircraft:

 

• Boeing 757 - ATS ID BOExxxx - Voice "Boeing"
  
• Beech B200 King Air - ATS ID KNGxxxx - Voice "King Air"
  
• Hercules C130 - ATS ID HERxxxx - Voice "Herc"
  
• Lockheed P3 Orion - ATS ID ORIxxxx - Voice "Orion"
  
• Iroquois UH1H - ATS IROxxxx - Voice "Iroquois"
  
• Kaman SH-2G Seapsrite - ATS SEAxxxx - Voice "Seasprite"

You could even get out your favourite former RNZAF aircraft, A4 Skyhawk, MB339 Macchi, or something even older and bolder!

 

And for all the users of FSX Acceleration, why not emulate the RAAF F18 Hornet!

 

Come and experience flying into some airfields that you mightn't be used to flying in and out of.
