Over Easter Weekend (3-6th April) we took 8 of our Cadets down to Wanaka for Warbirds.

The Friday started off bright and early for us to make it to the show on Friday. While at the Airshow in Wanaka we got the opportunity to see the only flying Black Hawk in New Zealand. We also got to see the 90th Anniversary Spitfire, Roaring 40's Harvard Display team, American Eagles (L-39 4-ship formation display) as well as many other amazing aircraft.

On the Saturday we headed to Arrowtown via the historic Cardrona Hotel where we stopped for a hot drink. We then explored some of the shops in Arrowtown, then headed into Queenstown where all the cadets got to explore while the officers had a mini Golf competition. We then finished the day off with Pizza down at a lake edge with 38 SQN before heading back to camp.

On the Sunday we went to Puzzling World where we spent most of the day going through the illusion rooms and most went through the great maze. What a challenge it is.
