When you think of airports in New Zealand, you would be forgiven to immediately think of Auckland International or the iconic Queenstown, with its iconic vistas of the Southern Range as you're about to touchdown. However, we must head towards Mechanics Bay for New Zealand's first international airport. Located just 2.8km (1.7 miles) from Auckland's CBD, could you imagine if an international airport remained there today? Think of that commute.

On Thursday, August 29, the California legislature officially signed a ban on leaded aviation gasoline, according to AvWeb. This law that enforces the ban is now on its way to the Governor of California, Gavin Newsome. Once he signs off on the bill, which he is predicted to do, the ban would go into effect throughout the state beginning in 2031. California would be the first state to ban leaded aviation fuel if Newsome signs the bill. Thumbnail Image: InsectWorld | Shutterstock
