Omaka Trip # 1

I was planning to do a bit of strip training on Sunday, but unfortunately weather and planning conspired to prevent that from happenning.

It was good enough to go flying though, and despite 20-30 knots on the ground, with a reasonably strong north-west flow upstairs, we jumped in our Cessna 172 [ZK-ETK] and headed off to Omaka. Omaka is west of Wellington and so it was a slow trip there, but fairly quick on the way back.

Once at Omaka I pulled off a fairly good landing and parked up at the aero club.

Photos from the flight [next post will contain more] are:
