Number 75 Squadron Commanding Officer Wing Commander Herb Keightley led a flight of four Skyhawks to welcome the new year, new century and new millennium. The Skyhawk formation took off from the Ohakea, New Zealand Air Force Base at 0500 hours local, climbed to 25,000 feet and flew east until at 0530 hours the sun rose. Here the flight was approximately 100 nautical miles feet wet off the East Coast of New Zealand. Wing Commander Keightley took this photograph as the sun came up. The Skyhawk flight then flew to a Auckland beach where the official dawn millennium celebration was in progress. The Skyhawks then performed a very slick and tight diamond formation fly-past at 200 feet AGL.

The new millennium Skyhawk flight was:
