Best Mates
Here we have Echo again, our very own Squawking Magpie with her two best friends, Piper and Mr. Gilbert.
Who do you think is the boss?
And yes, we do love black and white.

These awesome wines are from Squawking Magpie in the Hawkes Bay and our current selection includes:
* Syrah

What is Fight Club?
It's where people who love military aviation can hang out, talk lots of rubbish about how good they are at flying warbirds such as the P-51 Mustang, Mk IX Spitfire, BF-109 and even fast jets such as the F-18 Hornet, F-14 Tomcat and F-16 Falcon.
Fight Club Nights include:
* Air to Air Combat - Everyone for themselves
* Air to Air Combat - Three vs Three
* Air to Air Combat - 1 v 1 Leaderboard Challenges
* Air to Ground Bombing Challenges
* Formation Flying
* Carrier Landing Operations
Do you have what it takes? (which isn't a lot if we are being honest about ourselves lol)
Membership Fees Apply
Must be 18+ (youth fight club is coming soon)
Toasted sandwiches can be a culinary delight, offering a perfect combination of crispy bread and gooey fillings. Whether it's a classic grilled cheese with melty cheddar or a gourmet creation with artisanal ingredients, there's something universally comforting about biting into a warm, toasty sandwich.
And the Smoked Chicken with Camembert, Spinach, Onion, Pesto and Cheese between two large cut pieces of Ciabatta bread is one of the favourites at the moment.
Gourmet Toasties $15 or $20 as a combo with a LARGE coffee

Why pay more than you need to!
When you ask for a large coffee, you expect a large coffee.
So at The Aviator, we strongly believe in delivering great hot drinks at affordable prices.
Not only that, it has to taste great as well, which is why we use Sou'Wester Beans from Halo Coffee. It's laid back and uncomplicated with a hint of caramel, it’s just the thing for your everyday coffee fix.
Why pay more than you have to for a quality coffee.
