As RNZAF Ohakea was a bit too far, I went to Wellington airport with the idea of trying some new spots (for me), in particular using the surrounding hills to get some top-down shots, especially of the Air Chathams Convair 580 on its usual Monday and Friday schedule. Of course, the weather took a bit...

Very nice! Always nice to see those F-5s, the F-35s will take getting used to though

What's the story with the Convair?

I was told that 501 squadron will be active until the end of this financial year which is March 2020 and 301 squadron would soldier on until March 2021 - however I haven’t seen any official confirmation of this and it doesn’t mean that the RF-4s will actually be flying in January 2020.

C-17A 96-0005 "Stewart" tail - 137th AS.

Haven't they been offered Spanish Air Force Mirage F1s before and didn't they talk to IAI to get some Kfirs? There were also talks with China to get the JF-17 but I suspect that China has little interest in Argentina.
