Koputaroa Breakfast Fly-in

 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.

Cessna 120 ZK-BFK from Ardmore, didn't win furthest travelled due to only coming from Whanganui today. Nice to meet you today, Simon!

Always nice to see Gavin hop across from Foxpine in his Zenair CH701 ZK-OUZ.

A great morning out and a huge thanks to Peter for organizing the fly-in!
