Snapshots
Flying Start: Aviation in Motueka
The first aircraft touched down in 1921, pioneer aviator Sir Charles Kingsford Smith called in the 1930s, and the strip is now the base for an aviation college, commercial skydiving and even drag-racing. Buzzing on land and in the air.
Cost: $10.00
Taming the Gowan
