USAF F-16 pilots cautioned for flying too low in New Zealand

U.S. Air Force F-16 pilots who took part in the Warbirds Over Wanaka air show in New Zealand have been cautioned by the local authorities after complaints that they flew “close to tree level” over Fox Glacier.

The incident is said to have taken place during a pre-show training session. New Zealand’s Civil Aviation Authority said “no further incidents occurred” after “the Royal New Zealand Air Force reminded the pilots of New Zealand’s aviation rules.”
