1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Hi, Taylor is the GM for Warbirds over won Aka morning. 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 2: Good morning, Lukie boy. This is it show week. 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: It certainly is been thinking of you guys all weekend. 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: Just to quickly address the crushing news Friday that all 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: modern military have pulled out on use and you know 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: New Zealand hirks no Aussie jets no if twenty two 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: rapped to the headline. 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 2: Ax. 9 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: Do they give you a reason. 10 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 2: Well, it's all to do with world events, mate, and 11 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 2: the fuel situation in New Zealand. I guess, you know, 12 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 2: for our air force being seen. You know, participating in 13 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: an air show at this time is probably not a 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: good look for some people. Other people would have loved 15 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 2: it and not worried about it. And but you know, 16 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 2: we live in we live in strange times, mate. But 17 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: the great thing is, and it's not unprecedented. We've had 18 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: the raands that air pull out before over the years 19 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: for various reasons like cyclones up in Fiji. They get 20 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: a bit of a priority over an air show, so 21 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: you can understand. But yet to blow. There are a 22 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: few shares tears shed here in the office on Friday 23 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 2: afternoon and then Saturday morning we're back out here carrying 24 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: on because we've had vampires arrive at the L thirty 25 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: nines arriving today. BEV and Jews bought six aircraft in 26 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: last night, so gone in just before dark, so you know, 27 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: the planes are arriving. We've got a revised program which 28 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: we'll be putting up hopefully later today, just fill a 29 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: couple of those gaps. But yeah, man, we've got some 30 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: fantastic acts and you know, it's an opportunity for others 31 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: to shine. And we never have a problem with having 32 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: enough display aircraft here. We have to send some people away. 33 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: So you know, it's the New Zealand's premiere air show 34 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: and people love being part of it in terms of 35 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: displaying their aircraft, but also people just love it in 36 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: terms of coming down and getting three days of aviation 37 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: goodness into them. 38 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: Yes, well, so as you've sort of mentioned there, the 39 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: show does go on and mentioned the vampires. I love 40 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: witnessing them in action. So they're still going to be 41 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: jets about the American Eagles. Are they still there? 42 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 2: Yep? They are flying the L thirty nine. Albert Cross 43 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: and the boys fly in on tomorrow from California and 44 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: they are raring to go. So the planes are arriving today, 45 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: the pilots arriving tomorrow. They were the big smoky of 46 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: the last isshoe. No one really knew much about them, 47 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 2: and man, they blue people away flying those four jets 48 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 2: at six hundred k's an our three feet apart. You know, 49 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 2: it's got to be seen to be believed. 50 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: So this thing's a sellout as I understand. Is there 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: a chance of picking up some tickets? Like do you 52 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: have an official reseller or something like that? 53 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: Yep. Ticke Tech are our ticketing company, and they run 54 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: a site called ticke Tech Marketplace. And you know with 55 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: every big event, Mate, there's always some people whose plans 56 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: have to change because of whatever at home, so their 57 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: circumstances names so they can sell and there on marketplace, 58 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: and that gives other people an opportunity to get into 59 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: the Saturday and Sunday. But Loop Friday, after the last 60 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: day show, that was a sellout on the Saturday and 61 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: Sunday as well. In twenty four we decided to give 62 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: Friday our big boost. Used to be a pretty quiet 63 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: sort of practice day. Well it ain't that. Now we've 64 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: got a full flying program happening on that day at 65 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: least three hours of flying and then we all head 66 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: down to the lakefront for that magnificent community free Lakefront display. 67 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 2: So that's a great day Friday. Everything's open on Friday 68 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 2: and we've got it. We've still got plenty of gas 69 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: for Friday. Plus we've got just a handful of silver 70 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: pass grandstand tickets for Friday. They've been selling really well 71 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: as well, So if you want a seat for Friday, 72 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: come along and everything's happening. You see all the planes, 73 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: it's all happening. And then we head down to the lakefront, 74 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: which is a real special thing that's quite unique to 75 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: Wilburd's over Wonica.
