Our class visited the RNZAF base at Ohakea as part of our career studies. We looked at some of the occupations on the base including avionic and electronic technicians, electricians, fire fighters, aircraft maintenance engineers, helicopter pilots and sea and surface technicians. (Rescue raft and parachute maintenance and aircraft painting). It was a very exciting day and we are very grateful for the time taken by the technicians and pilots who talked to us. A special thanks to Sergeant Ellis who was our guide. Our overall impression of the people we met was how much they loved the work they were doing and how well the Air Force was looking after them.
