Well this was my second year in attendance at the Black Sands annual fly-in event at Raglan.
Sure was good to back again and some new photos to add to the collection.

The first three shots are of a Tecnam P96, Golf, ZK-PPG

World Global Airlines MD11F- N435KD

World Global Airlines made a special delivery of some pretty special cargo late last week on Friday the 2nd December arriving from Canada via Honolulu.

Their MD11F, N435KD touched down around 8am local time on 23L and back taxied all the way to the eastern end of the airfield where it parked for it's cargo offload next to the DHL Cargo Facility.

I think the MD11 is a great looking machine and hence quite a few shots below, something different and light in each shot though, so thought worth sharing them all. Photos of the landing, back taxi to parking spot and then again as it was moved again to a new parking spot down at the western end of the airport.

United Airlines B787-8, N20905

I took these shots back on the 19th October with United Airlines flight UA817 running a little late, and with the sun coming up earlier now.

This is N20905 arriving from San Francisco, and check out the wing flex in the third photo, and touch down smoke on the main gear.
