Feilding on 12-8-2018

Jordan Elvy was at Feilding on Sunday and captured some interesting aircraft:  The key to checking out these aircraft is to be there when the many private hangars are open.

Torana Investment's Ltd's Aviat A-1C-180 Husky ZK-NWY2 looking smart.

And a surprise to me was Stan Hyde's Rand KR 2UL ZK-TWO2 which looks like it is on track for a return to the air.

While another of Stan Hyde's aircraft, the Porterfield 35-70 ZK-POR was tucked in beside yet another of his aircraft - the first generation microlight Ultralight Mirage ZK-EYI which dates back to 1982!

While outside in the sun was another first generation microlight: the Pterodactyl Ascender II+2 ZK-PAY was ready for flight!  This aircraft dates back to 1988 when it was first registered as ZK-PAX which was withdrawn from use and cancelled in February 2000.

ZK-PAY was registered on 7/4/05 and is now owned by the Early Bird Flying Syndicate of Feilding.  I reckon it is really neat to see these old microlights in the air and I might concentrate on them when I finish posting all our homebuilt and sport aircraft.

Thanks very much for the photos Jordan.
