After having a great time in Wellywood watching the Rugby 7s and visiting a few cafes and bars - managed to borrow Sounds Air's 206 for a scenic flight over Wellington and over the Marlborough Sounds and onto Nelson - will catch up with the Baron there.
Outside Wellington Aero Club

the usual domestic traffic


Over Wellington - finally a reasonable day for flying

Over the Caketin - the scene of the Rugby 7s (now I swear those Rugby posts weren't there the last time I flew over this!?) - looks like they are warming up for a Super 14 match.

Bye Bye Wellington

Over Cook Strait - with the Sounds in the distance

Over the Sounds and starting to cloud in a bit

and touch down in supposedly sunny Nelson - only shot I got of the approcah and landing as my 5 year old decided he wanted to land the plane (with my assistance)- anyway down in one piece (just)
!
