We want to hear from any hostesses who may have flown in the old DC3s when they were operated by the national carrier, NAC. In fact we'd love to hear from any ex flight attendants.

To coincide with the cruise ship season we are planning a series of sightseeing flights over Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty in summer.

The flights would include an hour-long flight over White Island, the active volcano in the Bay of Plenty, and was expected to be a big hit with tourists.

So please put the word out for retired air hostesses, who preferably still had their uniform.

The first flight is planned for early November when the first of the summer cruise ships arrived in Tauranga.

So please call our office on 07 572 4000 if you are interested, or know anyone else who may be.
