Well out and about this Saturday and was whizzing past Napier Airport (NP) and a few Jets in for Barry Gibbs concert tonight at the Mission Estate. The to biggest two are for the Gibbs crowd. Couple Lighties as well. Some very nice Choppers sitting next to the Tower as well.

Napier unfortunately has become a closed Airport as such very hard to get pic's through security fences etc.

These taken from IPhone so not that flash.
