Northland aviation buffs will be in biplane heaven later this summer when 15 vintage Tiger Moths descend on Kaikohe for their annual fly-in.
The event starts at Kaikohe Aerodrome on Friday, March 6, when the classic 1930s aircraft arrive from all over the country.
New Zealand Tiger Moth Club members will spend the following day competing in challenges such as spot landing, bombing, aerobatics, flying with instruments covered, and executing the perfect loop.
On March 8 they will hold their annual meeting before cranking their aircraft back into life and flying home.
Club member Graeme Wood said a large percentage of the world's surviving Tiger Moths were based in New Zealand, with more than 50 registered.
