I still have fond memories flying the smaller AA-1C at Auckland Aero Club from a few years ago :-)
The second aircraft is a Cessna 152, ZK-ZGR, and is registered to Nelson Aviation College.

A Grumman and a Cessna
Here are pictures of two aircraft that were at Wellington last weekend. The first is a Grumman American AA-5A, ZK-DLL. I included 3 pictures as it's areally well presented machine, and there are not many of them in New Zealand.

Wow, its great to see ZK-DLL again. I remember as a boy (10-11 years old) Harold Blair picking me up from school in his red E-Type and driving down Kapiti Road at 100Mph to the airport. Just after taking-off in DLL Mr Blair said to me "Now its your turn to take control". This was my first time flying and was the most amazing experience. Even thou that must have been 25 years ago i still remember it like it was yesterday. Thank you Mr Blair.
