[TheList] F-16 coming to CHCH airport for the wanaka airshow.

Andrew Massie in Christchurch, a fellow Weather/Electrical nut posted 
this on Facebook:

"So Christchurch mums and dads, I'm talking to you, (Quoted names 
abridged), and a million others I forget, sorry, need to take your kids 
to the airport between 1 and 2:30 tomorrow and Sunday to see these 
AWESOME F-16s take off and land.. the best place to be for takeoff is at 
the end of the main runway the planes are all taking off towards and 
when they come back, the end the planes are all landing at. You have to 
watch carefully because they come and go so quickly and for wee kiddies 
earplugs would be a good idea."

He has posted some good Facebook Live Video of them coming & going. They 
really are fast going by.

Regards,

Neill.
