Paraparaumu AOPA Fly-In

Well this was something different, a fly-in literally down the road from my home, so of course I had to take advantage of that.

The weather could not have been better, so all I had to do was wait for the aircraft to arrive. About 6 did arrive the day before, in the end about 2 dozen aircraft flew in, even a couple new ones for me.

Was great to have so many aircraft at my local airfield, plus most of them being from the South Island, which is rare for a North Island event!
