Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 12:06 pmHere are a selection of photos from a recent trip to the South Island by 6 students and 3 instructors from Ardmore Flying School in 3 aircraft, ZKs EAT, TAS and EOX. More or less, they are in chronological order. Some are gradually making their way to Airliners.net and Jetphotos.net as I have the time.
Some of these were taken by Travis (forum member travnz) as him and I shared the flying, so I can't take all the credit this time.
Finally, this is my initial editing job pending having more time to do them more thoroughly, so I apologise in advance that some of them still are a little rough, some moreso than others.
ZK-TAS over Marlborough Sounds.
...and again - this one's on Airliners.net if you want it in a higher resolution.
A second-hand JS31 at Nelson, ex Origin Pacific.
Air Nelson Q300.
The Christchurch International terminal.
Oamaru airport.
The old NAC hangar at Taieri, Dunedin/Mosgiel.
Overhead Ryans Creek airfield on Stewart Island.
Stewart Island Flights BN-2 at Ryans Creek. Excuse the blurries - most of us were ducking for cover at this point.
Queenstown with the Star Alliance A320 lined up on the runway.
ZK-EAT, which me and Trav flew during the trip, with some hills in the background.
Cromwell Racecourse airfield.
Approach to Wanaka.
A few gliders at Omarama. These were participating in a competition - it took about an hour to get them all airborne which was a good excuse to have lunch there!
Mount Cook. I think we were at about 10,500ft at this point; Travis might be able to remember?
When straight and level gets boring... Somewhere over the west coast.
Hokitika airport.
Omaka from 9,500ft.
Woodbourne. This one is on Airliners.net as well if you happen to want a larger version, which does show the detail much more nicely.
Ohakea.
A Mil Mi-8 sitting in the sun at Taupo.
I've got plenty more, but those are probably the pick of the bunch. Hope they were as fun to view as they were to take.

A bit scary actually!
