The Robin Fleet at North Shore Aero Club Today

Another trip to North Shore airfield today for Avgas saw nearly all of the NSAC Robin fleet parked out:

They are ZK-TZG, TZH, TZI2, TZK, TZL2 and TZM3 (TZJ crashed in the South Island in 2007).  I will make this into an unofficial Question Time - what is different in this photo?  No chocolate fish will be awarded.

And what do you think about the way they are parked?  (Have a look at the windsock).

    They are parked with the wind, when supposed to be against the wind. Plus, have we covered ZK-TZM in her new colours yet?

    There are two Robins regos ZK-TZI parked up, and of course the Islander ZK-PIZ is different! Yep parked with the wind behind them also...

    Jordan Elvy gets the imaginary chocolate fish! The Alpha 2160 ZK-TZM has been painted in the club's colours.

    Thanks Bill, the last Robin 2120 in the line is actually ZK-TZL with the bottom bit of the L obscured. And yes, I thought it not the best practice to park tail on to what was a pretty strong wind although they all have their flaps and tailplanes down.
