Weekend trip to Various Airfields

 Yesterday 14th October, was  to be the Tiger Moth's annual spring fly-in to Taumarunui, but due to the  weather forecast's everyone decided not to fly in  as when I arrived to Taumarunui there was no aircraft in sight,but eventually only one arrived.ZK-KRD C180 .

Therefore,travelling back on Sunday I went to the nearest airfield, Te Kuiti. Dead but I did see these locals:

ZK-CTB Cessna 150H

ZK-DRM Cessna 172M

ZK-DXG Cessna 185A
