I took my Baron from NZWP to NZNV today. And I flew it real time. Well it seemed like a good idea at the time :-)

The route was NZWP - AA - HN - OH - NS - CH - SW - NV - NZNV.


Climbing out of NZWP



Crossing NZAA



Here's a look at how I had my two screen arranged



Oh No, it's the end of the world !



Here's a familar sight. It just wouldn't be right not to have a gratuitous Ruapehu shot.



Ohakea is down there somewhere.



Oh look, there it is.



Turning towards Nelson



Passing Kapiti Island



Landfall. If it wasn't for all those clouds I might still be able to see the wrapper from a huge easter egg down there LOL



This would be very pretty, if I could see it properly through the clouds



I see mountains



That's Omaka NZOM



And that's Woodbourne LOL



Christchurch here we come



I'm glad I'm up here not down there



En route Woodbourne to Christchurch. I love the way the clouds sit in the valleys.



Approaching Christchurch



Almost at Christchurch



About to turn at CH VOR



Leaving Christchurch via Lake Ellesmere



Following the coast down past Timaru NZTU



Overhead Dunedin.



What am I letting down into ???



Welcome to Invercargill



Turning to line up with Runway 04



w00t ! I see a runway !!! I am teh win !!!!!



This is going to be ugly



Actually maybe not



Dang I'm good - 300fpm and on the tarmac, what more could you ask for :-)



Look at that windsock - "wind 200 @ 5 knots" Yeah blimmin' Right !



And here we are ...... What a marathon, 4hrs 45 mins. And yes all flown in real time.



Cheers
