Newshound Ady & Flo www.sunlive.co.nz

All eyes will be on the skies this weekend, with the Classics of the Sky – Tauranga City Airshow taking off in the Bay.

The newshounds, being bird dogs, are pretty used to scouring the skies for large birds. We've got a good set of identifying skills, and we're able to track and trace all of the regular flying critters around here.

And we tackle most of them too, except the bolshy swan in the lakes this week. Uncle doesn't like them much, and even less now that the big black bugger nearly stopped me retrieving the ball. Those sods will keep, till early May, when the newshounds and our friend Benelli will turn the tables! Anyway, back to the airshow, Ady and I are all organised. I even have a plane sorted.

The newshounds have been drawing inspiration from that infamous aviator mutt, Snoopy. Seeing those two seater bi-planes tearing around the skies, we reckon the newshounds could make pretty good dogfighters!

Dogs in flight: We'd make excellent dogfighters.
