Shark ZK-SAS/2 at Mata Today 8-2-2025

The Northern Aviators Club held their annual flyin today at Leo Johns' airstrip at Mata.  The conditions were great with the wind right down the strip, and the BBQ wasn't too bad either.  Seventeen aircraft flew in to join Leo's Cherokee ZK-EQX in the field that Leo opens up beside the strip for aircraft parking.

A first time visitor to Mata, Bruce Stevenson flew his Shark Aero Shark 600 ZK-SAS2 up from Kaipara Flats.  I took this photo from David Signal's Foxbat ZK-SGI as we were both about to depart to return to NZKF.  Of course Bruce beat us back!
