High wing aircraft at Timaru

I'm starting to struggle with ideas for how to divide the photos up, so here are some of the high wing aircraft [aside from those Piper Super Cubs previously published...] that were at the competitions.

Obviously, most of them will be Cessna's, but I'll start with something a little different.

First up is a Rans S-6ES Coyote II, ZK-TPC, which is registered to a Temuka address.

Next up is a Cessna A150L, ZK-TWT, which is operated by South Canterbury Aero Club, the host aero club of this year's Nationals.

Next up is a Cessna A152, ZK-TAY, which is operated by Tauranga Aero Club. As with the previous aircraft, the "A" means it is aerobatic.

ZK-ELS is also a Cessna A152, this time operated by Kapiti Aero Club.

Now on to the Cessna 172's. ZK-EOI is a Cessna 172N and is operated by North Otago Aero Club.

ZK-TAB is also a Cessna 172N and is operated by Tauranga Aero Club

Next up is a Cessna 172M, Zk-DKM. This is registered to a Whanganui address and was flown by a competitor from the Wanganui Aero Club.

Last, but certainly not least, is this Tecnam P2008, ZK-ZZB, which is operated by Hawkes Bay & East Coast Aero Club. Since mid January, it has been re-designated as a class 2 microlight, having previously been registered as an LSA [Light Sport Aircraft].
