Some very exciting news, the club now has a Piper PA28-161 Warrior in it’s fleet – ZK-MBG!
It arrived on Friday evening (20th Jan) from Palmerston North.
Come down and have a look at it.
It should be online by the beginning of Feb, so as soon as it’s available make a booking to start your rating or for a familiarisation flight (or two).
Congratulations to Greg Bishop, Phil Seamark and Gilles Vieyres who all passed their PPL Flight Tests over the last week! Well done!
A wonderful aviation themed Christmas Tree has been set up in our “brand new”, refurbished and repainted viewing room at the new hangar. A huge thanks to Amy for adding this great Christmas cheer to our premises. If you haven’t been down to the new hangar yet, you should make a point of doing so, as you will be surprised and delighted at the transformation inside. We are hoping to have some “before and after” photos soon of the various rooms soon to show how much work has been undertaken over the past months.
The destination for the club flyaway on Sunday was moved to Omaka after the Wairarapa wind meant that Martinborough was no longer going to work. Fortunately the weather in Marlborough was perfect and a great contingent of club members went over and enjoyed a fantastic day of flying. As you can see from the picture below we had a range of club aircraft over there, from the wonderfully aerobatic ETS, the mighty nanchang MAO and the newly upgraded EIF. Make sure you sign up for the next flyaway as it is not only a great day of fun, but also a chance to experience a different aviation environment.
A big congratulations to Jelle Holthius who passed his CPL Flight Test today! Well done Jelle.
