Northern Aviators Club Flyin at Mata 13-2-2021

The Northern Aviators Club held another successful flyin at Leo Johns strip at Mata which is 5 1/2 nautical miles SW of Whangarei airport.  The weather was great with an Easterly breeze filling in making the preferred runway the 06 vector.  This gave me a nice view of the aircraft approaching and touching down from the elevated hangar area:

Willy Morton in his Foxbat ZK-VAW


Steve Williams in his Savannah ZK-CVK2


John Zinzan came all the way from Taupo in his C 172P ZK-EWF

Harvey Lockie dropped in from Parakai for a scone in the Tecnam Echo ZK-CDL2

Dave Evans came from Waihi Beach in his Tecnam Golf ZK-JAN3


Rusty Russell hopped across from Wahangarei in the Whangarei Flying Club's Tecnam Eaglet ZK-WCF


As did Colin Ashby in his Jabiru J230 ZK-PSH


Colin Jordan and Ian Carruthers came from Kerikeri in Steve Wynn's Fantasy Air Allegro ZK-DCU


Alan Nelson dropped in for a scone and a cuppa in his Bristell NG 5 ZK-NGB. and then headed off to Dargaville for lunch.

Steve Opie flew up from Ardmore in his nice RV 6 ZK-OPA.

And Richard Bell flew across from Maungaturoto in his ELA 07R gyro ZK-VBA.

It was a great day out for sport flying!
