Here I will share with you some photos from my journeys around the country, I do not proclaim to be a photographer and some have been taken from a cell phone so may not be the best, but I hope you enjoy, I will update with new ones as I remember to....

This will become a familiar sight for ZK-KAG

Around the Marlborough Sounds

A 100hour old 182 peeling away from us....(between Queenstown and Wanaka)

The mount and adjoining places, on a semi-alright day (for there anyway)

Looks like you really had the approach nailed in the first shot, I think I need to have another lesson in the circuit perfecting it. What aeroplane are you flying?

The third shot is awesome, thanks for posting man!

Im about to sit my CPL (in a month or so) in a 172.


between Omaka and Hamner Springs


Low level NAV in fiordland on a crappy day..... 3.5 of trying one pass, turning around and finding another one..... JOY


A bit of low level fun thru Haast pass


A 172 at 13100' took forever and a day to get there, then we decided to open the windows for the fresh air....


Same 100 hour old G-1000 equipped 182 as before.

Awesome photos; where are you based at?

Im based at Ardmore. Others feel free to add your own pictures, this can become a random photo album of sorts


90 Mile beach....

Interesting; Ardmore Flying School or Auckland Aero Club or other? I might know you.

AFS, but occasionally drink at the aero club

Hey, so am I, I've probably seen you around somewhere. I'm doing CPL theory at the moment, going to get all the theory out of the way first before I start flying. (I have done a few lessons though)

Yeah did my theory this time last year, glad its out of the way now

Heres a few from overseas.....

An emirates A330 on the apron at Vienna Intl


And climbing on departure from Vienna (as seen) to Bucharest in a Fokker 100 (If I recall correctly)

Well I thought I had better venture my way to the city today with the millions of other people, and look what i found......





she a big brut that's for sure

definitely not the only aircraft taking a detour over the ship today

I saw there was quite a few aircraft around the city today checking out the Queen Mary II, aslo saw a few piper cubs

There were a lot of aircraft with banners in tow, with the devonport wine and food fest on today/tonight and then the jazz and food fest in mission bay on tonight also, so i thought it would be best to go down to 500' from the city to coromandel, just to avoid the weekend warriors.....

Well my own trip fell through at the last moment, so thanks for posting!
Last of the ocean liners, she's so much more elegant than the cruise ships.
Wow Auckland sure has a buzz at the moment.

Thanks for posting, I went down to the harbor last night to see the firework display and the QM2 departing, and there sure where heaps of choppers flying about, just like there were all the banner towers during the day!

After only seeing the ship at night (crap photo attatched below), I really hoped to see a piccy of it from during the day, and from the air is even better! Thanks for posting


By the way, does anyone know why it was moored at Jellico wharf rather than Princes Wharf- most of the liners usually go to Princes', (which is empty in 1st photo kiwiflyboy) and I can't understand why the worlds biggest had to go to a container termainal...

A 172 at 13100' took forever and a day to get there

Geez that must have taken forever... Did you take oxygen?

According to the Herald lead in story last week, that's exactly the reason...too big to fit!

We got to 13500' (the service ceiling for the mighty 172)....... Oxygen, mmmmmmm.......



Hypoxia is just a urban legend to scare people (well below the flight levels)
