The venue was the excellent Classic Flyers NZ Museum, at Tauranga Airport. In this episode, Part Two of the recordings from the event, we have a very quick word from Mike Feisst,and then the\u00a0legendary pilot Bryan Cox, talking about regaining his licence at age 93 and his aerobatic flying over a long career. The video below was part of his presentation.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bryan Cox and Phil Keoghan\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d9WxQjrem0s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440077.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5168\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440077-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440077-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440077-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440077-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440077-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBryan Cox during his talk, holding up the papers he used in his test.\u00a0(Photo Phil Treweek)<\/p>\n<p>Next up was Matt McLaughlin who is a\u00a0former PNG bush pilot and current airline pilot.

Plus a lot more detail from the life of a Skyhawk pilot. Note, the very last few minutes of this John stepped away from the microphone so it is more difficult to hear him, but persevere, as what he&#8217;s talking about is great.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440100-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5171\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440100-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440100-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440100-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440100-1-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1440100-1-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nGp Capt John Mathewson (rtd.) talking about flying the RNZAF Skyhawk<\/p>\n<p>The film that John played:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A4 Skyhawks of the RNZAF\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tp5ezLsLZbA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick Links:<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicflyersnz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Classic Flyers NZ Museum Website<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Classicflyersnz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Classic Flyers NZ Museum Facebook Page<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/Flying-the-Knife-Edge\/9789881403605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0Flying The Knife Edge at The Book Depository<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.corsairsandkittyhawks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bryan Cox&#8217;s website\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest Speakers: \u2022 Mike Feisst \u2022 Bryan Cox \u2022 Matt McLaughlin \u2022 Group Captain John Mathewson (retired)<\/p>\n<p>Host: Dave Homewood<\/p>\n<p>Recorded: 4th of March 2018<\/p>\n<p>Released: 13th of March 2018<\/p>\n<p>Duration: 1 hour 32 minutes 28 seconds<\/p>\n<p>The Wings Over New Zealand Aviation Forum held another successful and entertaining Forum Meet on the 4th of [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1368,1281,792,1773,512,1068,1774,951,1772,1069,299,186,952,1601,1779,1778,1684,1599,1780,1776,1777,1775,1299,1771,370,31,917,153,1326,192,13,781,916],"class_list":["post-5166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-episodes","tag-1368","tag-aerobatics","tag-boeing","tag-bryan","tag-bush","tag-classic","tag-cox","tag-dave","tag-feisst","tag-flyers","tag-flying","tag-forum","tag-homewood","tag-hong-kong","tag-j-c","tag-jc","tag-john","tag-kai-tak","tag-keoghan","tag-knife-edge","tag-mathewson","tag-matt-mclaughlin","tag-meet","tag-mike","tag-museum","tag-new-zealand","tag-over","tag-papua-new-guinea","tag-phil","tag-show","tag-skyhawk","tag-tauranga","tag-wings","odd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5166"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5196,"href":"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5166\/revisions\/5196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
