Sunny Side Up?

Or maybe not. Sunair's Cessna 172M ZK-DKK looking a little worse for wear after a lunchtime flip at Tauranga 15 May. The attached news article suggests a gust of wind caught the taxiing aircraft and while the automatic weather station, which takes half hourly snap shots, was only reporting speeds of 10KT and 15KT I'm sure the region is receiving similar squall lines of showers and associated gusty winds being encountered around the Auckland region.




Happier times - at Ardmore December 2014 (minus wheel spats).
