On Sunday am If my eyes didn't deceive me I thought I saw an ATR do a touch & go at Nelson Airport, can anyone confirm?

Ring up Air NZ and ask? tongue.gif
It has happened before.
Maybe it could have been diverted because Wellington was wild. They weren't letting some planes in and out.
The flights from Rotorua to and from Wellington were delayed and this was because of the wind.
So most likely it was diverted.

Cheers

One used to overnight there before the dashs came. Every night I think from wellington, I went on it often. I remember when one tried turning round and nose wheel went off runway and got stuck. Was a bit of an issue
