Shopping with the girlfriend?! What did you do to deserve that!
You should drag her up in a plane - that might turn her around...

Nice one - I would love to do some time in PAB.
There were lots of plans to get the Seasprite and the Yaks etc there, but even though they didn't make it, there were some great aircraft and really keen people.
Parakai is a great airfield and good base for people wanting to get going and go flying - it has a really good feel to it.
I think quite a few people use it as a maintenance base too.
