A couple of weeks ago i decided to an Auckland to Invercargil in a 737-300. I stopped at Milford sounds and was too lazy to finish it. I stopped at Tauranga, Palmerston North, Wellington, Then a tea Break, Then to Nelson, Then to Christchurch, then to Timaru, then to Queenstown then finally to Milford Sounds. I used real world Weather over 2 days. I started at 5:15am I'm missing some screenshots of auckland.

A view of the south of Nelson Airport. Those darn ATC got me on short finals, cleared me to land, then cleared a saab to take off! I decided it was not safe(the controllers were fine for me to land anyway) so i went around.

After a boring flight to Christchurch they made me go around when i was nowhere near the runway, sent me miles out to sea then brought me back as slowly as they liked!

On approach for Queenstown finals. They kept me at 3000ft until they cleared me to land to close to make a non-spoilers landing!

Leaving the sounds before re-entering for landing. Forgot about the Milford Sounds defect!

Entering the sounds for landing. Was far too low as the runway is for some reason miles above the water!

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

Easy, but probably illegal, have the parking brake on before you touchdown
