Tauranga, some parting shots!

[JonARNZ]

Back home tonight, lots fun in Tauranga, thought I'd share some final snaps..

R22's at Tauranga..



And this smooth looking mean machine...



Snapped MAT on climb-out..



Heres the aircraft home. ZK-NEO, the same aircraft I arrived on a few days ago, given NEA was aircraft number 1, this must be #15. The latest Air NZ mag says they have 13, so perhaps this baby is brand new with a capital B?



Goodbye Tauranga, goodbye Mt Maunganui




And finally flying home, Ruapehu lifted her veils enough to get a peek at the crater lake...

If you ask nicely and the captain agrees then you can sit in the jumpseat. You remember my thread don't you?
