Hello Kiwis and NZ aviators,

I've just posted a query with this title in the Hangar Talk topic at this link and wanted to also post here in the AirVenture topic in the hope that Kiwis and NZ aviators will find this and visit that link for details and to hopefully share info & suggestions.

My wife and I are planning a trip to NZ in December, touring that beautiful land by car and 172. We attended Airventure 2010 and had hoped to return this year and possibly meet some NZ aviators, but this December's NZ trip and some other expenses make that highly unlikely.

We're excited about our coming trip, hope to connect with aviators in HI and NZ, and would also enjoy connecting with visitors from those places (and everywhere else, as we did at Oshkosh 2010). If you're interested in this topic or can help, please use the link above to read more and/or reply.

Thanks
