NZFF

Early dawn take off - flying VFR



Turning to the south over Lake Rotovegas



over Lake Taupo. Taupo Airport just under left wingtip.



...and past Mt Ruapehu



over Ohakea airbase - only aircraft present was a lone 172! (maybe that says something about the state of our airforce)



over the Manawatu



time to play with the laptop in the back!



over the Horowhenua - low mist was evident most of the way



it clouded in as we got closer to Wellington and it was a bit of squeeze through the hills and the lowering cloud base



whoops! a one wheel landing



unloading outside Welly Aero Club and off to see the sights of Wellywood

whoops! a one wheel landing

One-wheelers are fun as, I do em often when we have a crosswind IRL Good shots also, esp. the one approaching wellington

Gettin to like these private NZ tours , different perspec and payware planes .. great pics Paul

Thanks Guys - my Baron was a bit neglected - so this tour is a way of piling on the hours and getting to know how to use the great RXP avionics in it. I think I might switch to something else on the next leg though.

Cheers

Paul

Where did you get the ZK paint? (not that I fly the DF Baron much, having virtually abandoned FS9 now!)

Jon @ARNZ (www.flightsim.co.nz) did a special for me. It is the standard Dreamfleet paint with just the rego changed.

I am pretty sure this Baron is being ported for FSX.

By the way I am really enjoying following your Oxford to Oxford trip.

Cheers

Nice report Naki- there has been a sudden influx of tours here on NZFF and I am enjoying them all

Is that an addon weather set up you have there or default real world?

if they do port the DF Baron please let me know asap
cheers

and Jon if you read this - is there any chance of getting a paint done of a rego ZK-TGY that I can load onto the DF Baron for FS9? I'd really like to continue my tour in a ZK rego if poss.
thanks

Is that an addon weather set up you have there or default real world?

Default weather - although I have Real Enviroment Pro - wouldn't mind Active sky 6 but seems a bit expensive

if they do port the DF Baron please let me know asap

Will do - the DF Cardinal, Archer & 310 won't make it though - I am waiting patiently for the DF Archer 111 which will be iniatally only available for FS-9

Cheers
