After a long lunch at Dargaville we drove over to Whangarei. The Whangarei Flying Club was very welcoming with coffee and biscuits and laid back discussion about aircraft and flying. It is a great place to visit. Thanks Rusty and Penny.
The next morning (Sunday) there was a committee meeting and most of the aircraft in the hangar were pushed out which was great for photography. There are quite a few sport aircraft at Whangarei and that I had not seen before, several of which have not been posted on this blog previously:
Mel Jones's Sisler Gygnet ZK-CYG is for sale - have a look at Trade Me aircraft listings for details.
Andrew McNeal's Avid Flyer Mk IV ZK-DDB2 is now flying again.
ELA Aviacion ELA-07R ZK-VBA w(c/n 04040403712) was having some maintenance work done. It has been registered to a Maungaturoto owner since 8/9/17 It is ex G-CEEA and has been registered in New Zealand since 29/11/10.
Murray Parkinson's nice Corby Starlet ZK-LDI is undergoing its test flying schedule.
Locally based Dreamcraft Aviation Ltd's Tecnam P2002 Sierra ZK-TST (c/n 008) was busy flying. It has been around since 28/11/03.
Another Tecnam was P 92 Echo ZK-THA (c.n 785) which now wears a slightly different but very plain colour scheme. It is registered to a Kaikohe owner and has also been around since 2003 - it was first registered on 19/9/03.
Vans RV 6A ZK-TRV was up from North Shore and stayed only briefly. It was coming home in a way as it was originally constructed in Whangarei.
