Another one of the Beach landing workshop at Black Sands 2010, Gibson's Beach, New Zealand. This beach is a few miles North of Raglan, an internationally famous surfing location. The Fly-in gets its name from the Black Ironsand beaches on this part of the North Island;s west coast. Its a great location to familiarise pilots with beach operations as the Ironsand is very smooth and firm and the beach is huge!
