The sad news of the passing of one NZ,s greatest aviators  BRETT EMENY I heard Yesterday what an absolute BUMMER. BRETT gave me my rating in the Jodel EDR which I must say was an absolute Hoot. We did it at NZNP the usual stuff stalls, FLWOP, EFATO ETC. He said right ya passed now I will show ya what ya can really do in a Jodel and he did using the Grass 05/23 runway outside the Terminal we zipped Backwards and Forwards in both directions on one wheel then the other steep approaches etc. I would have loved to have been in the Terminal watching all this going on must have been interesting ....... So long Chap fair winds always.

  Spotted KEA at Hawera on Sat when down for the Fly-in at HAWERA on the Saturday. On passing the Airfield on Monday there she was all on her lonesome so took the time to get some pic,s. Typical day after Fly-in it was beautiful I mean look at that sky. Kea hails from Waikanae I suspect hangered at one of the local Aerodromes. KEA is Falconair D11 { Cana dian  version of the Jodel D11} according to CAA.
