New Years Day Fly-In 2023

 Another year another New Year's Day fly-in, this year the event was being held at Whanganui and the weather was excellent besides being a tad bit windy.

The attendance wasn't too bad with a final count of 34 flying in from as far south as Ashburton and as far north as Tauranga.

A great day in all.

Winning Furthest travelled, all the way from Ashburton

Always love seeing a Mooney

One that seems to elude me, nice to finally get a picture of!

Also, a first to photo for me, over from Hastings.

A brilliant way to start off the year and hopefully a look in to how the fly-ins for the year are going to look.
