Cross The Ditch

[Tony Forrest]

Following on from the huge success of last year's event, VATNZ and VATPAC are excited to announce Cross the Ditch - Autumn 2010.

For sixteen hours this May, the skies over the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand will be filled with aircraft all on a mission to Cross the Ditch.

An example of that typical down-under understatement, this "ditch" is over 1100nm wide. The flight routes - each between a pair of cities on opposite sides of the Tasman - range from two and a half to four hours flight time, making this event the perfect opportunity to experience oceanic flight.

Throughout the event, the Oceania region's two divisions will providing full gate-to-gate ATC coverage, making this the Southern Hemisphere's premiere oceanic event.
