NZ2350 ROT->AKL B1900D

[Muppet]

Hey again,

Second flight for the weekend, another short hop, this time with Air New Zealand subsidiary Eagle Air in their Beechcraft 1900D. These short flights are a lot of fun, and there is some nice scenery enroute between Rotorua and Auckland.

7am departure, but the sun is already up





Engines fired up now and time to taxi out





Rotation, I think the ANZ livery can even make the ugliest of aircraft look good!



Climbing quickly, this is a powerful little beast, not much fuel onboard for a 40min sector either





Still gaining altitude over Lake Rotorua





Overhead Tauranga, another good place to fly into





Time to head on down into Auckland, with a few vectors from ATC







Visual approach approved, let's join right-hand downwind for 05R



Turning base





Lined up





Terra firma, there is a faint trace of smoke



Righto, back in AKL - thanks again for viewing!

These are excellent shots as well Muppet!
My favourites are the rotation and the climb. Your 3rd to last one if pretty cool too.

As I said in your Jetconnect Flight topic- these shots look very crisp. I was browsing through the thread on my Itouch before and thought they were FSX, honestly!

Are you running ActiveSky weather there, or is that default FS9 still?

Nice shots Muppet. I've simmed that sector many-a-time... It's a cool little flight to fly, and you've shown it well.

Nice shots there - well done - very entertaining!! I'll be flying the B190 for my 2nd VATSIM attempt at the VATNZ Easter Hop!! I have the same questions regarding your addons. The aircraft lights look nice and add alot of ambiance to the screenshots. Is that the Shockwave Redux light addon?? What other addons are you using?? Cheers - Mat
