With the triple masts standing at around 62.5m high, more than 20m above the runway, they created a temporary obstacle for arriving and departing aircraft.

A new airport for Whangārei, estimated to cost up to $150

A $45 million superyacht formerly owned by a Google co-founder is in Whangārei, undergoing a refit.
Senses, a 59-metre vessel weighing almost 1000 tonnes, is currently sitting in a slipway (boat ramp) at Ship Repair NZ's Port Rd site as it completes its seventh refit in New Zealand, believed to be its first in Whangārei.
According to the SuperYachtfan website, Google co-founder Larry Page bought the expedition vessel in 2011 from New Zealand multi-millionaire Sir Douglas Myers, the long-time chief executive of Lion Breweries and Lion Nathan who passed away in 2017.
