Omaka on the first of March.

On the first day of March 2012 I visited Omaka and had the good fortune to photograph the following.
Above is the Precision Helicopters Hughes 500D ZK-HRF2 (c/n 1190627D) on departure.

Boeing A75N1 Stearman ZK-KJO (c/n 75-2100) is now listed with the Marlborough Aero Club.
It first served with the US military from about 1942, joined the US civil register in the early 70's (I think) and came onto the NZ register on 05-05-2011. The "529" is the last three numbers of its previous US civil registration.

Graeme Orphan's Classic Aircraft Nieuport N 11 very aptly registered as ZK-NII (c/n CAS 01) was first flown at Omaka on 08-12-2011 by Jery Chisum. It features a 110hp Rotec Radial engine.d

Smaller than I expected was the reproduction Flug Werk FW190 A8/N  ZK-RFR (c/n 990001) from the Chariots of Fire Collection. This was first registered in Germany on 23-12-1996.
