Tiger Moth Spring Fly-In 2022 #2

 In continuation with yesterday's post, we had a quick look at Taumarunui in the morning to see nothing had changed (arrival wise) after we left yesterday. The plan today to stop off at a few airfields along the way to Auckland.

So firstly, we stopped off at Te Kuiti, where not much was happening:
