Helen has kindly offered to bake some
scones so the earlier you turn up the better chance you will have to benefit
from her baking skills.

Tea and coffee will available anytime from your arrival onwards, or until the generator is either turned off or runs out of fuel.

The runways are: 06 and 24.
Length 700 metres.
If Leo can fly his Cherokee from there
I don't think anyone will have a problem.
If 06 is in use you can choose to
either fly over the hill or approach on the southern side of it to land and
stop closer to the parking overflow paddock entrance..
When making radio calls remember that the radio frequency used in the Whangarei area is 118.6.
When advising your position, the airfield is located 5 1/2 NM to the south of Whangarei.
Drivers:
The address is 1722 State Highway and is on a sweeping bend on the Western side of the main highway with a useful pull-off area right there at the entrance.
Turn right just before the large shed and follow the farm road to the airfield.
First timers: Be aware of the nearby power lines and pylons, especially if flying very low and concentrating too much on looking for the airstrip.
