MURIWAI , West Coast, Auckland New Zealand..  May 2001

Matts new 'Glass Air' HLG finally got some air time up at Muriwai on Auckands   West Coast.  I took the Chrysalis along and the weather played its part by serving up some perfect HLG weather ....a clear warm morning and just a touch of a breeze across the top of the cliffs. It was an awsome day great scenery and excellent flying.

A great day for the HLGS

No hand catch this time ....

No this is not a picture of the pilot posing ...this is where he decided to land.....he had to look pretty hard to find just about the only rock around !
