HB deployment 24 Feb 1800

 Whenuapai, 6pm. Local weather hasn’t played nicely, our trip down is cancelled tonight due to an intense thunderstorm.  The latest plan is to head out at 9 and 10 tomorrow morning  on 2 flights in C27 Spartans to Napier, after bunking down in Wheunapai.  The Aussey C27 planes and crew have hopped over to help out and a few days ago - fun fact - their C27 was the most watched aircraft in the world on flight radar 24 as they did recce doughnuts over Hawkes Bay.  Still, my multi tool with pocket knife made it through baggage check.  

Note for future reference BYO earplugs not necessary at Whenuapai waiting lounge - they have their own ear plug dispenser.
