Hey Guys,

*sorry to the guys that have already seen these over at vANZ, thought I might as well share them here as well*

Here's a few shots of a flight I did this avo, Wanaka through to Christchurch. Lovely day for flying up the South Island, anyway onto the pics...

Our ride for the day Echo Alpha Charlie...




Lined up and ready to roll Runway 29 at Wanaka...



Gear up...



Climbing out past Wanaka township and making our right turns to track to TARAX on the GULOV 1A departure. The runway is just visible above the right wing in the third shot...





Tracking for KALDI now, Lake Wanaka and Hawea in the distance...



Cruising now, that's Mount Cook at the top of Lake Pukaki, New Zealand's highest peak...



Spot the plane...



On descent over the Canterbury plains now and the NZCH Metar is indicating a visual app should be available...




And I got the visual too, there's the Port Hills in the background...



I love in the 1900 how you can come in on the barber's pole to 5 mile's out before having to start slowing up...




You can tell I've been flying heavies for the last couple of years, what a float...



Thanks for flying Eagle Air...



Hope you guys enjoyed, comments always welcome!

Thanks for sharing those! Very enjoyable.

Gotta love the PMDG Beech. I got mine recently and was blown away when i first flew it. Such a great handling plane!

Ugly aircraft, great model, beautiful scenery, great screenshot angles and crops.
Great post, Muppet.

It doesn't matter how good the photographer, your subject still needs a paper bag!

[ardypilot]

Amazing camera angles in those screenies Matt- thats a very nice collection you have posted there!

[ZK-Brock]

Nice ones Muppet Your approach looked spot on

[Jimmy]

Great, some good angles and viewpoints there.

at all of 230knts I always go way past my TOD in the B1900D, but it descends so quicky, and slows up well..

nice shots

Awesome Flight!!! Look like you had a good one anyway!

NZCH Metar is indicating a visual app should be available...

Just a query that you did mean Metar? Cos wouldnt that normally be on the ATIS?

Thanks for the comments guys, glad you enjoyed!

@ Charl, agreed the 1900D is about as ugly as they come. And no cropping in the shots, just a bit of Walk & Follow

@ ZK-KAG You are technically right, I just checked the current Metar on ActiveSky on the way down. M$ ATC still instructed me for the ILS but I requested the visual fairly early on

1900D looks cool Its not ugly

Not bad Scotty, not bad at all.

Walk & Follow eh? Definitely worth a second look.
It's really nice to see a screenshot not centred on the aircraft cg.

Here you are Charl http://www.igfly.com/features.php?product=dbs-waf Kind of like Active Camera but I find it a lot easier, like you say nice to see the subject in a different location. I would consider myself a very amateur user of the program, some of the angles and viewpoints that are possible are incredible.
