Here are the first few photos from the five flight we completed in order to celbrate the 80th birthday in style.
Thanks again to the MAC for making the flights possible.
The Cub and 172 are not owned by the Aero Club but are flown by members.

Yes nice shots.
I'm also in Blenheim (Renwick). Maybe we should all get together sometime ??

Yes, Jay is flying some of the aircraft.
He has great ability so appears in quite a few of the photos I take as a result.
He flew the Chang for the Red Checkers shoot as I knew he could do the job and is also ex RNZAF so at least he can say he lead the Checkers one day New_Zealand_etc.gif
