Taupo Gliding Club

What a day in Taupo! 😎 we had The Air Cadets with us today which was great. Lots of flights and even some lift on a perfect blue bird day 😁👍

Thanks to our instructors Martin, John, and Craig who worked with the cadets sharing their knowledge 👌

Our 2025 Christmas Dinner.....a fun night being had.

Congratulations to David Keys (left)....our newest Solo Pilot. Well Done, now the learning begins.

Ferry flight today taking Mav back to Hastings with a cheeky detour through the hills on the way 😉😎

👏 thanks to Airborne Aviation in Hastings for letting us fly MAV for the week.

A few photos this morning. Hopeful of some flying today 🤞😎

Our friends Gliding Hawke's Bay and Waipukurau are onto it! Some good photos here. We have had a busy few days at the competition & will try to get some more action shots later this week! Some good flying today 😎👍

What a great day at the markets on Sunday! 😎 The weather was great and we had lots of interest in gliding! ✈️ thanks to our club members who have put the time & effort into sharing our club passion & spirit at the markets 👏

Good to see the Super Cub BKA stop into the club this morning on a great Taupo day 😎 this cub was a tow plane out of Paraparaumu in the 60s & 70s and although not towing now its still going well. Blyth Transport Chris Blyth does tail wheel ratings (great if you are wanting to get into glider towing in the Pawnee) often operating out of our airfield 😁👍

We have had mixed weather this week for our competition but 🤞🤞 for flying today and tomorrow 😎

A nice dinner on Sunday thanks to Neil Harker 😁👌

DON'T MISS OUT on this fantastic opportunity!.....Less than a week to go. Finishes at midnight on 16 November 2025
