NZFF

There are some days with the best of intentions, no flying happens. Today was one of those days. Plan was to take a Solent from Rose Bay Australia to Wellington NZ. Time was set aside. The rig is FSXA ORBX REX, so it threw up a really bad Sydney day, low cloud, passing storms, rain and wind, basically set in, waited for several hours for a clear break but alas. Flight rescheduled to another day, now I wonder how often TEAL had to do that, probably quite a lot given the day and sea conditions required by a Solent. Anyhow fascinating to watch real time REX do its stuff.

Day start in rain reduced vis storm swell:



Cockpit preparation complete, grey with heavy rain outside:



A break in the weather aircraft preflight continues:







The passenger view of things:







Well by last possible departure time given time differences, it was day over:

COME ON BENDY ... its summer , turn those hose sprinklers off

Bendy ..... its a sea plane , it likes getting wet
Great screens .

They do like getting wet, nothing like a good fresh water rinse!
