TVALs air shows are changing!
« on: September 03, 2014, 04:02:59 PM »
The following note was published on TVAL's facebook site earlier today:

Due to increasing numbers of aircraft and a heavy ‘away’ shows commitment both in NZ and overseas, our TVAL air shows are changing to accommodate more practice and handling for our pilots. Flying will now take place over the last weekend of every month from November to April. This season’s air shows commitment will unfortunately affect our new flying dates however we expect ‘the last weekend of every month’ to become the norm over coming seasons. Monthly flying will focus on handling and practice in the mornings and display practice in the afternoon with a late afternoon option to take advantage of the generally still evenings if weather has prevented flying during the day.

The new flying weekends are casual with none of the previous air shows infrastructure, parking, food stalls etc., so bring your own seat and refreshments. Hangar tours will be offered outside of flying hours. Flying will be scheduled from 10.00am – 12.00pm and 2.00pm to 4.00pm Saturday and Sunday, with a Saturday only option of 6.00pm – 8.00pm if flying that day has been held up with weather.
Additionally, the new flying weekends will see the introduction of the TVAL Supporters Club offering exclusive opportunities for enthusiasts from private group displays and pilot presentations to being first on the mailing list for our very limited up and coming Wellington Workshop Tours. More on this to come soon!
Before we launch the Supporters Club, we need a more imaginative name!

Put forward your suggestions and the winner will receive a free membership. Note them here on Facebook or email Sara at [email protected]

Here are the dates for this season’s weekend flying. Remember that if you want to see TVAL’s 4 originals or rare reproductions flying, you’ll need to come to a TVAL flying weekend. TVAL’s replica collection and sometimes one or two of our reproduction aircraft represent TVAL at other air shows.
