New Years Fly-In 2024

 Happy New Year, it's great to be back to going to fly-ins after a few months of them being rained off.

And my highlights from the day

A very nice surprise, New Zealand's only J-2 Cub!

Always nice to catch up with Ron and his Chippie

Nice first timer to a fly-in, rarely see beechcraft at Fly-ins!

A bit late to the fly-in, but still a welcome sight to see!

Another first timer to the fly-in scene, looks like it's going to be a regular!

One that has recently moved to Dannevirke, nice to see it's still kept flying!

A really great day in all and look forward to the next aviation event!
