#FindingRosieNZ: Sgt Josey Orum, Royal New Zealand Air Force
Josey is an aircraft technician with the Royal NZ Air Force. She enlisted half way through her final year at school, back in 1997. She has spent most of her career working on helicopters and is trained to work on any aircraft and all things mechanical (engines, hydraulics, environmental, structures etc). Josey comes from a long line of engineers and her great-grandfather was a blacksmith with the surname Wright, a name that has its roots in engineering. Her grandfather, father and one uncle are carpenters and another uncle is an engineer. Like Rosie Revere Josey loves to work with mechanical things and shows us how important mechanical engineers are to keeping the aircraft in our air force working.#FindingRosieNZ

F-16 pilot headed for Wanaka over Easter
Those attending the Warbirds Over Wanaka this weekend will be treated by a fly-over by a US Air Force F-16 fighter jet.
Because the runway in Wanaka is too short for an F-16 to land, the plane is currently based at Christchurch International Airport.
