The Northern Aviators Club finally had success in organising a flying event yesterday after two previous attempts were stymied by the Covid lockdown regulations. Yesterday's event was run by the Kaitaia Aero Club and featured controlled beach landings on Ninety Mile Beach. Auckland flyers could not attend but nevertheless a great turn out of 17 aircraft and 4 autogyros arrived for a bring your own shared lunch, and several aircraft and gyros did the beach landing. Here are a selection of them from Rusty Russell:
