Righto, I went flying today. I arrived at 10 and did some tidying up around the club (orders from the Boss man :rolleyes: ), and we were away to Motueka by about 11. The plan was to head over to Motueka Aero Club for BBQ lunch, then cut some streamers with the wings of a 152 Aerobat, JZT:

I got a ride over to Motueka with a few other members in ETU, the club's better 172:

One of the Tecnams came over later:

Sitting in the back seat, I took these pics. It's a 15-20 min ride to Motueka.

Once there we had a look through a few aeroplanes, then had lunch. A lot of hanging around talking followed while everone waited for their turn in the Aerobat. For my turn we brought 2 toilet rolls up to chuck out the window. We lost sight of the first one , and the 2nd one (which we unrolled quite a bit) sort of exploded into a big puff of loo paper, though we did see the remaining bit of roll just out of reach :( Ah well. The Aerobat was REALLY good to fly BTW ;)

On the way back we checked out some of the Abel Tasman National park:

And I do apologise for the poor quality, snapping through a windscreen doesn't bring out the best in photos

Nice shots Brock, looked like a fun day :)

What's happening with those Origin Pacific Jetstreams now that they're not flying any more? Are they going to be sold or just left there to rust?

They've been sitting for a few months now, I don't know if there's any deals going on or not.
