Waikato (Collins Rd) Airfield Family Fun Day

From there it was the short car trip over to the Collins Rd Airfield for the Waikato Microlight fun day. Thoroughly enjoyed the day with the modest $5 entry fee. Was exciting to watch some of the machines come in with the stiff wind. Blair was there with his Mosquito helicopter and also present was Bell 47G from Ardmore ZK-ICJ (video below). Got to have a fly in one of the club X-Air's for $35 for a good 20min flight. Thoroughly enjoyed this also. Below are some of my favourite pics of the day.



































In summary an awesome day. So good to be able to have my wings again in the microlight category. Awesome to meet so many like-minded people who are willing to take you in. I really missed the flying friendships I had formed back home in Australia and really enjoyed picking up new friends here in NZ. I hope I can meet some more of you and fly atleast once a week. Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Good stuff Darren.
