Hood Aerodrome in Masterton held an open day today, the weather was stunning, little cloud and little wind, but meant it was extremely hot!
Also on today was the conclusion of the National Aerobatics Comps which has been on this week, so some of the aircraft were still around, most left but some came over to be looked at for the open day.
There were many aircraft of all shapes and sizes present during the day, so this will be a big list!
Here is what I saw:

A truly awesome day and worth the $5 entrance fee. I walked away with 5 new ones from it.
Not much going on in aviation events in New Zealand, there is Life Flight open day in 3 weeks time, which I should be going to!
