Rotorua / Tauranga / Whakatane / Gisborne

Arrived in Tauranga this afternoon, interesting weather here as a semi storm past through Rotorua last night, meaning amazing surf on the coast this afternoon...



Which might make sailing on this interesting tonight...



But anyway, on with the photos we are are really here to see...



Also caught the whole fleet from the aero club, here are a few, and an extra...






And couldnt resist a few more shots of this beauty, she was parked up against the low fence, amazing that an aircraft worth so much is so accessible..






And one final shot, looks like its going to be in N.A.C livery...

Hey Jon great shots - thought there was a cruise ship in today - you can spot all the tourists in town a mile away. How did you get so close to the cruise ship?

Have you been through the Classic Flyers Museum? - it is certainly worth a browse.

The Bay Flight aircraft a certainly a common sight in the skys around here - they also have a 172 (ZK-DAD) & a Seneca (ZK-TWN).

Cheers

Mmm wouldn't Kirk's Sabre look good in that scheme

On which subject, feels like just the other day I painted this one up - Bay Flight clearly getting a little expansionist...

Good painter's pose there Jon.
