Air Chathams Convair 580 ZK-CIE, is scheduled for retirement in September 2021.

Enjoy this recently uploaded 30 minute Air-Clips teaser video of a fantastic ferry flight from Auckland to Christchurch with Captain Alex and F/O Daryl, great ambassadors for Air Chathams. Learn a lot about how it is to operate the Air Chathams Convair passenger flights and on top enjoy a lot of relaxed and funny "Kiwi" cockpit banter during the flight with 360 degree rotating views from inside the cockpit dashboard panel mounted camera facing the crew and the Convair 580 flight instruments.

Radar, great heads up ...wonderful stuff.
I had a couple of flights with Daryl a few years back in the "wings over whales" Islander, really nice guy ... I didn't care about the whales, just wanted the Islander experience.
