Today was the annual Breakfast Fly-in held at Koputaroa. This fly-in is great for me as it's just a 40-minute drive up the road and I always help out the strip owner, Peter, with the fly-in.
Sadly, this year though there were 2 other aviation events also on today, Turangi Lunch Fly-in and Warbirds on Parade at Ardmore. Due to these 2 events, it was likely there was less that attended that could of.
But still, there was 28 aircraft that flew in for breakfast.
