Markus' paint on the Veneaviones Turbo Commander got me really interested in this great freeware model, and so I took it on a series of west to east photo recce hops, airfield to airfield, north of Auckland.

I've done parts of this jaunt several times, and it never fails to delight.

Wind out of NW so had to go the long way round to approach NZNE:


Quick one engine stop at Pauanui, then perhaps on down the east coast to Tauranga...
