Bill Bennett Memorial Fly-In at Turangi

 Today the Turangi Aero Club held a BBQ lunch fly-in in association with the late Bill Bennett's memorial.

The weather was really good at Turangi and the drive up was mostly fine all the way up. Apparently cloud and rain most likely heeded aircraft arriving from up north, but there was still a number of aircraft that flew in for the event.

Here is what I saw:

Local Aircraft:
ZK-FCW Cessna 172H
ZK-HKH Aerocopter AK1-3M
ZK-OFB Bowers Flybaby (Unregistered)
ZK-XRD Vans RV-3

ZK-DXL Cessna 172M
ZK-DYC Cavalier SA.102.5
ZK-FRS Piper PA-38-112
ZK-JAB Jabiru J230
ZK-JIP Cessna 172S

And then some photos from the day:



Nice to finally see ZK-DYC, also in a new scheme, note the registration on tail coming off due to it only being tape



My only new one from the event, certainly a unique helicopter!
