Very nice shots. Sharp and clear. Even though I see them fly over my house everyday, I'd be glad to see more! biggrin.gif

Brilliant shots, I remember the place well. Easy access to get some nice action shots.

ZK-MMM is operated by Golden Wings, a charter operator based at Nelson but owned by a private family.
ZK-MAN is the Talleys machine, and that is a King Air 200.
ZK-PGA is Auckland based Citationjet CJ4 operated by charter operator Pacific Jets and available for charter.

Vinnie's also had one of their J31's in/out of Nelson on Friday, wonder who they were moving back and forth.

Keep the Nelson snaps comin!

If you got the chance to head over to Motueka towards the end of next week the RNZAC national competitions are being held there - will be lots of out of town GA aircraft visiting, including myself in the trusty Slingsby T.67. smile.gif
