Last weekend Agairnz had the opportunity to attend the Cessna 180/185 Group fly in at Makarora.
He was flown down in Cessna 185B ZK-CMW2 from the owners farm strip at Kaiaua on the Firth of Thames on Friday 15th of March and returned on Sunday the 17th.
Below is a selection of shots from that weekend.
