The Air Force operated 58 Vampires within New Zealand, and at least 44 more leased Vampires in Cyprus and Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode of the WONZ Show, Dave Homewood\u00a0talks with well known Warbirds pilot Brett Emeny. Coming from a family of pilots, his father Cliff flew in the Air Force during WWII as an Air Gunner, then a Navigator and then as a Pilot. Brett&#8217;s brothers are all in aviation, Craig owns Air Chathams, John is an ag pilot and Derek is aviation accident assessor. Brett&#8217;s daughter Fay Rice is also a pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brett discusses his journey into aviation and the various Warbird aircraft he is involved with, from the Catalina ZK-PBY which he flies and maintains, to the Yak 52 team, to the T-28 Trojan, and most importantly for Vampire Month, his two-seat de Havilland DH115 Vampire Mk. 55, ZK-RVM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong>
