I headed off this morning to drive to the Northern Microlight Club BBQ at Kaipara Flats, but about half way there I was in crawling traffic such that I reckoned I would not make it in time, so a quick U turn back to North Shore where there was also plenty of action on a hot summers day.
Gordon Lindsay's first flight in his Corby Starlet ZK-YGL, following 30 years of building. (It had flown several previous test flights in the hands of David Wilkinson).
Also locally based, is PA 28R-210T Cherokee ZK-TGF2. Notice anything different?
Locally owned Cessna TR182 ZK-MAS2 with insect like hanging wheels on take off.
PA 38-112 Tomahawk ZK-TWR was over from Whenuapai doing touch and go's.
I heard there were 29 aircraft at the NMC BBQ. I had a smoked fish pie from the award winning Dairy Flat bakery instead.
Over a couple of hours I shot the following movements that were of interest:
Locally based Nanchang CJ-6 ZK-CVI2.
Also in action was Ardmore based Cessna 172M ZK-LQA.
Today was the first time that I had seen PA 22-135 Tri Pacer ZK-EZI2 out flying. It is photo'd running up just prior to take off.
