Wanaka to Tekapo
NZWF - NZTL

Join us in a light aircraft for a VFR flight at Wanaka. Departure time is NZ local time Sunday 08:00 (Saturday 2000z). We will fly together as a group (formation) to Lake Tekapo. This is a fun get together for a scenic flight with friends. En route chit chat will be allowed

The flight should take about 45 minutes. The route is as the crow flies, or GPS direct. It is preferable that you join as a pilot and fly in the group rather than as a Controller. Choose your aircraft for the flight wisely as we will want to fly together - if you have a fast aeroplane you will leave us behind.

LOL! Sorry, I just copied that straight from the IVAO forums, they use different Smileys to here, which is why it just showed up as the text I think. Serves me right for not proof reading :lol:

It was a really great event, and it actually worked, holding it in the morning! A really good turnout. Sorry the screenshots are so poor; I'm useless at editing, and even worse at fiddling around with camera angles to get a good shot in VFR :lol:

We were circling for about 40 minutes waiting for people to get airborne

IvAe screenshot, I'm not sure how to get a better quaility on these...

En Route. I was in the lead at the start, but IvAp crashed (I think it was so surpirsed to see some traffic!), and then I was quite a way behind

That's all I took

That would have been a flight I would have been really keen to join- too bad I only woke up at 1pm

For those that like getting up early....
