Myself along with other pilots from Wanganui went to New Plymouth today for a comp to compete against Hawera and New Plymouth which involved spot landing and bombing (both Jnr and Snr levels). I did thr Jnr spot landing.

We all had a good day out, Results: 1st-New Plymouth, 2nd-Hawera, 3rd-Wanganui. Congrats to NP :clap:

Below are pics taken at New Plymouth and on our way home.

I saw ZBD when I was walking out to the plane I was going home on and just had to take a photo, it looks like a space shuttle. Hope your cross country flight goes well.

Yep that was someone inside it and no I did not see it fly. Also the plane has a prop at the back.

Nice photos, interesting to see the prop powered Bede, they're more commonly jets. Max. takeoff weight according to the CAA is 408kg! :lol:

The jet version is the BD5 Microjet, used in the film Octopussy.
