After several years of inactivity in hangars at Kaipara Flats airfield, Kevin Mills' Aero Gare Sea Hawk ZK-SEA completed a new Annual Inspection today and it was outside running and checking out a new prop that produced better static RPMs.
It was a spectacular day for flying in the North today, so after the Annual was signed off in the late afternoon Kevin took it out for a flight in perfect conditions and lovely late afternoon sun:
Annual completed.
After a thorough pre-flight inspection Kevin taxied out.
and into the very low late afternoon sun.
After a couple of high speed taxy runs he was off!
Climb out with the undercarriage up.
A very distinctive silhouette.
Looking good on approach.
And in for a nice landing. Kevin flew several circuits and the Sea Hawk looked real good!
Excellent got long legs 1000 nautical miles on 160hp. Great they added the Glass Goose upgrades. Well done sir. Oh and great pics.
