So after an absolutely crazy busy 10 days in Melbourne for the Grand Prix, I got back home and instead of having a much needed quiet weekend to catch up on sleep and rest, I decided to head down to Wanaka in Rupert (King Rupert the M5) to go see Warbirds over Wanaka – an Air show that’s been running here in New Zealand for 15 years now!
The last time I had been was with my dad when I was about 14 or so… so it was pretty epic to go down for it again, this time as a “grown up”. Due to my fixation with speed & adventure, I absolutely love planes they represent a whole new level to me in terms of freedom and being independent. It’s one of the reasons I love cars so much, the ability to get in my car and go for a drive when ever I want, is a great feeling – to be able to just get in and drive, to be able to switch off all other thoughts or clear your head, just you, machine and the open road…. It doesn’t get much better than that…. Although maybe it does…! With planes I feel you have an added factor to this luxury, of being able to just fly away… it’s pretty cool to me.
