Test Pilot Roger Cruickshank took off from Hamilton International Airport with a dozen interested aircraft enthusiasts present and flew a few medium and steep turns, stalls and several circuits of the aerodrome as well as a pulsating low level flyby for the cheering onlookers. The 'Wow" factor was evident with all. On Roger's return he opened the canopy with a big smile on his face, shook my hand and said "I am predicting we will see a lot more of these aircraft in New Zealand."
