What happens to the local Kaipara Flats flyers after 8 weeks or so of no flying, and the Saturday dawns to be a perfect blue skies day? They go flying!
The flavour of NZKF at present - earthmoving equipment and aeroplanes - Avid Flyer on finals.
Asha and David Kay taxy back in Asha's Avid Flyer Mk IV STOL ZK-PCL, to stop for a cuppa.
Grant Waugh and Erwin Weber had been out early to assemble Erwin's Windsport Edge X 582 trike ZK-SJR and after the required three landings and take offs by Grant they took off for a local tiki tour.
Steve William's arrived and fuelled up his Savannah XL ZK-CVK2 then headed out for several flights with his wife Martha. That's David and Asha looking on with said cuppa.
Then they were off again.
Darren Price arrived back in his Sling ZK-SLG while Jim Schmidt taxies out in his Tiger Moth ZK-CCQ. And there were several other Northern Aviators Club members flying, but my camera ran out of batteries! Darren had flown to Springhill earlier in the morning to pick up Tim Harrison and then they flew around the Auckland boundaries.
And to add to the carnival atmosphere the local modellers were also out in force (with social distancing of course). What a great day!
