Whangarei-Tauranga, Dornier Do 27

Postby hasegawa » Thu Apr 16, 2026 11:00 pm

This is my first post in a long time. I'm happy to be back.

Whenever I get up early in Potsdam, it's late afternoon in New Zealand. I enjoy flying in real time with "real weather." This results in images that are significantly different from what you get with "canned weather." Today's flight from Whangarei to Tauranga wasn't much of an adventure, but the aircraft, the Dornier Do 27, hasn't been available in a flight simulator for as long as I can remember. I'm very pleased that it's now available.

Ganz gut, indeed.
I tend to favour the Wilga for the short STOL hops, but the Dornier is bigger, faster, heavier.
Doesn't really matter in the sim I guess.
What chance someone builds a Broussard?
Restauravia has, of course
