When we arrived at Kaikohe last Saturday Steve Moor taxied in behind us from a local flight in his locally based Jodel D 11 ZK-CKG:
ZK-CKG was the first Jodel D 11 to be registered in New Zealand, and was built from Falconar plans by Bruce Gillies, Jock McKenzie and Keven George at Kaikohe. It was first registered on 1/7/66 and first flew in February 1968. So it hasn't moved much in 58 years!
Don McMillan's Mooney M20C ZK-DBK was looking nice and was flown up from Whangarei by Peter Garlick. Its fuselage is silver which doesn't show well in the photo.
Maurice Honey's Turbulent ZK-CWE is now based in his hangar at Kaikohe.
And a new addition to the gyrocopter fleet in the North is Kevin Maurice's AutoGyro Cavalon ZK-KLC2 up from Parakai. Kevin has owned it since July 2025.
And finally I photo'd Iain Carruthers of Kerikeri starting up in David Wynne's Fisher Tiger Moth ZK-DSW2. He took off just after we left in the Sling.
