Based at Whakatane in the Bay of Plenty, North Island, NZ. Active member of the Taumarunui Aero Club (in the middle of the North Island and affiliated to Flying NZ). Current PPL & Recreational Pilot Licence holder with ratings in C150, C152, C172 and Tomahawk.
PPLs in my age group are being savaged by NZ CAA medical fees and requirements that discriminate on age, hence the RPL back-up.
