Out with your mountain bike packed to the brim , best and most fun way to go

Nice event, was thinking about saving a aeroplane shot with Jim while he reports the weather on one news!

Wonder if those Air Nelson Q300s are flying about doing aerobatics around NZNS.

Congrats Nelson Airport (NSN/NZNS) on your 75th anniversary, cheers to those Air Nelson workers, pilots and also to the Air New Zealand staff and all the other Nelson Airport workers!

Don't forget Terry that get some shots when you are in Nelson Airport while it is happening!

Also for Rob, how about making RealNZ Nelson free or make a discount on it to celebrate their 75th anniversary.

Ahh, one of the airports of middle Earth
And also one of my frequent destinations in FSX.

Once again Nelson Airport, Congrats

From Zain.
