A mammoth return-trip, criss-crossing the Tasman Sea, today for the Royal Australian Air Force.
They'll be flying from Sydney to Masterton - and back - to take part in this year's Wings Over Wairarapa.
Because of Covid-19, the crew will have to stay in the plane the whole time.
That means a round-trip of almost five thousand kilometres.
Squadron Leader John Ayers says the RAAF C-130J Hercules will conduct an " initial and pitch"Â before the crowd, make a full-stop landing, reverse back along the runway, then take off back to Australia.
The crew will repeat the journey tomorrow.
