Around 18 sport aircraft took advantage of a lovely day to attend the Northern Microlight Club's flyin at Paul Hopper's airstrip at Silvedale, which is just North of Dairy Flat. I thought the flyin would be a local event, but there were aircraft there from as far away as Kerikeri, Waihi and Hawera.Of the aircraft that may be new to readers of the design-plane blog, I will post the following four. The first is Foxcon Aviation Terrier 200 ZK-SOD which is owned by A K Matthews from Warkworth, and with a nice multi-hued paint job. This was first registered on 6/12/04 and was for sale for $65,000. Maybe the new owner will change the registration!
This Aerospool Dynamic WT 9 ZK-EWW was visiting from Kerikeri. It is owned by K J Slattery and was first registered on 26/8/04. It has also been retofitted with winglets (the same as ZK-DYN of an earlier post).
The Waihi Aviation Group's Aero Design's Pulsar XP ZK-KFC also flew in with 2 POB and 1 DOG (who loves flying). This is the oldest of this group having been first registered on 17/4/97.
And lastly was this local Alpi Aviation Pioneer 200 ZK-DJC which is owned by D J Clack of North Shore. In spite of it having been first registered on 3/5/06, this is the first time I have seen this aircraft.
