PLEASE NOTE:
It has come to our attention that someone is spreading mis-information that Te Kowhai is closing on this date. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE. Its a pity that some aviators are doing this and hurting Their fellow flyers. Please dont believe these malicious lies - challenge anyone who spreads them.

[Peter Lewis]

Expect to see me there Bruce. DXQ booked.

[Peter Lewis]

Oh dear, DXQ had a whoopsee at North Shore last night (not me).

So it looks like I'll be driving.

LATEST UPDATE: AVIATION SWAP MEET!
in conjunction with the Daylight savings Fly - In, we are holding an aviation swap meet.

this is nice and simple with no fees. Simply bring along you aviation - related bits (Parts, radios, instruments, pilot stuff, models, books, videos etc) with a label showing your name, cellphone number and asking price. If someone wants to buy or trade, they just text or phone to meet up while there and arrange the deal. Transactions are entirely between buyer and seller and SAA and Te Kowhai airfield take no responsibility.

should be fun!

[Bruce]

It has come to our attention that a fraudulent e-mail is circulating (Purporting to come from Rob Clear) advising this event has been cancelled. Please note that this is a malicious lie and a concerted effort to undermine our activity. We will be getting the Police involved.

Please note that this event is most definitely still on - wet or fine. Please spread the word.

If you have any clues about who the sad, sick individual is who is doing this stuff, please drop me a line.

[Darren Masters]

See you there tomorrow

[Peter Lewis]

Anybody up for an anti-rain dance?
