Great stuff Glenn . Wanaka has to be one of the best venues for aircraft shows in the World. Warbirds over Wanaka is the best.

Vincent, it was an innocent typo and duly corrected. Thanks for picking it up

I would assume N31096 is the registration mark or tail number of the aircraft. If this were so, why would a USAF military machine bear a civilian number?

I typed in the tail number into the box, but for some reason it put an N at the front

The aircraft is assigned to the 109th AIr Lift Wing New York Air National Guard
