Event held by Waikato, Bay of Plenty. Well attended and enjoyed by members.

Awesome day out with the Amputee Society at Classic Flyers today. We met up for a coffee and muffin, and had a great chat. Then, we took a walk through the museum section, where we saw some old planes, aeroplane pedal cars, and lots of history and memorabilia. Big thanks to everyone who came along .
