New Dates for North Cape Fly-around
Events
Attention all pilots!

The Bay of Plenty Chapter's North Cape fly-around is now planned for the weekend of the 5th and 6th of July.
The plan will be to leave from wherever your aircraft is based early Saturday morning the 5th July and fly to Dargaville for lunch. For those that wish to we will stop at Graeme Weck’s strip at Patumahoe near Pukekohe for coffee on the way.
After lunch at Dargaville we will continue on up the left hand side of the North Island to Cape Reinga, make a right hand turn and fly down the other side to Kerikeri where we will spend the night.

Sunday morning we will depart Kerikeri for Kaipara Flats or other for further refreshments then on back to your home base.

The total length of the journey from Tauranga is approx 650 NM.

Detailed instruction and information will be provided to all participants a week before the trip.

At this stage we need to know who intends to join us for this weekend.
