I agree you Andy, you are doing some amazing things with aviation down there. There's also this:

It's probably a good thing the Mosquito is leaving NZ as that would be just one more thing that would tempt me to totally destroy our family budget and head down there in the dead of winter. My wife would also like to see "Hobbiton" from the "Lord of the Rings" set. You have a beautiful country with some exceptional folks in it.
I was hoping the Mosquito would be flown to the States and pass through Alaska, but, like mentioned above, that is probably not going to happen. I suppose it wouldn't make much sense to have such an adventure in a plane which absolutely cannot be replaced.....Louis
