Wellington Aero Club Open Day 2010 #14: Odd and Sods

I thought it was time to show some of the "odds and sods" aircraft and events happening around the open day. The aircraft are [in order] the Cirrus SR22 ZK-YUG, Neico Aviation Lancair 320, ZK-VDQ and Akrotech G200 ZK-LGT, all registered to Wellington addresses.

Following this is our very own "7 foot tall instructor" [I guess you had to be there!] Blair running one of his popular "Learn to Fly" seminars. Capital Books were in attendance again with a good selection, and finally, a "winged garbage collector" consuming some "left overs" :-)

Back to the main event in the next post.

A trip to Masterton: The Lancair and other civil types

After yesterday's horrible weather, today dawned fine - sunshine and light winds. Awesome!

I was out at the Aero Club and was privileged to be able to have a ride over to Masterton in a Neico Aviation Lancair 320, ZK-VDQ [a very descriptive rego if you ask me...!]. With a 180 knot cruise it took no time at all to get to Masterton [or back]. It was an awesome flight :-).

Photos in this post are the Lancair, and some of the other local aircraft that I spotted. My next post will show the range of [mostly] World War One aircraft that were sitting or flying around.

Top to bottom are:

Neico Aviation Lancair 320, ZK-VDQ

Piper PA25-235 Pawnee, ZK-SUG
Tecnam P2002 Sierra, ZK-MVT

Neico Aviation Lancair 320

Here are some pictures of a Neico Aviation Lancair 320 at Wellington. This is a stunning example, with a fantastic finish and a good VFR setup inside. The Lancair website has plenty of good info on this, and other Lancair products - http://www.lancair.com/Main/. Nice!
