Welcome to competition day, the crews
are getting ready from New Zealand, Canada
and Australia and what we're going to
look at today is dropping up and doom DZ
up in Waiouru where they're gonna
drop a light equipment bundle and then
the crews are going to flow through down
to Raumai where they'll drop a
thousand pounds CDS bundle. Now as part
of the competition the crews are going
to be judged on their ability to be able
to get over the target on time and on
the time that it takes to get the
bundle on the ground and then they are
also going to be judged on how
accurately they can drop the light
equipment bundle and the CDS bundle
to the center of the drop zone. Now the
ground team has been working pretty hard
to prepare the aircraft and also load the
aircraft which they're doing right now and i
think that it's going to be a good day
for competition so all the best to the
rest of the crews
Gidday my name is Ethan out at the dropzone
here in Raumai today. We just had the Australians drop
not a bad effort for the first drop of the day, 8 meters.
Coming up next we have the Canadians
Gidday Ethan again back out at the Raumai dropzone
Just had the Canadians drop right on the letter
great score for them, zero meters, Bullseye
Hey guys Ethan here out at the Raumai DZ
The Aussie C-27 Spartan crew just dropped their
first CDS, Bullseye. Next up we got
the New Zealand crew hopefully they can
pull off an upset win. The Canadians and
Aussies have been dropping well so great start to the day
Hi again guys, Ethan out at the drop zone
The Kiwis have just finished their drop of the day
Best time on target so far for the tournament
Not quite the accuracy we're looking for
but lets wait for the Waiouru drop results to come in
to see if the Kiwis can still walk away with the trophy
hey guys Ethan here out at the Raumai dropzone
the Canadians have just dropped
their second CDS for the day - not
quite the result there after landing
about 95 metres off the drop zone
luckily the first Canadian crew came
with a Bullseye to save some Canadian pride
One more drop to go today, the second Australian C-130 crew
See how they go
Not their best result, but still not a bad effort
Big thanks to our international
partners coming down for the exercise
now it's back to the office to collate the
scores and then we'll find out who the winner is
So first place 55 points so they completely cleaned out
the next 2nd, 3rd & 4th were
32, 35 and 38 points
so comes down to the Spartan and the Kiwis
But unfortunately well lucky for
us the Kiwis took it out so well done
