If you're ever around the Manapouri Airport when Ivan Krippner is practising his aerobatic routine, stick around and watch for a while.
Ivan, a former NZ champion, is part of an international aerobatic team that does displays in Asia - so when there's no Covid-19 restrictions, he will again be heading off to join the team.
Meanwhile he keeps his hand in by flying in his Pitts Special in a mind-blowing series of complicated manoeuvres.

Nostalgia flowed freely at the Anniversary weekend. Stories of helicopter exploits in the good ol' days of live deer capture. Reminiscences of challenging trips in less than ideal weather. Catching up on old mates. A chance for past club members to see the new facilities and aircraft. All round a very successful event.
