Paraglider and hang glider pilots are hoping to be included in plans to open up more play areas on New Zealand's biggest farm. The future of Molesworth high country station, which links Marlborough with North Canterbury, is on the table as the current grazing lease expires next year. Its wide-open skies make it a flying mecca for pilots of small craft, now fighting for a share of shrinking air space around the country - including that being clogged up by drones.
