Stillwater Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 After escaping Mordor http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/128693-oh-you-can-go-into-mordor-and-back/ I went on from Waiouru, viewing at Mt. Ruapehu... ... heading westwards ... ... towards New Plymouth. Hi @JimNZ ! Really only a short distance to Mt. Taranaki from there. Roger @Wakashi has given us more details from this mountain recently: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/128216-trip-suggested-by-jimnz/#comment-1141618 . With this fast bird I went on across Wanganui... ... and Ohakea... ... to the forests of Ithilien ... ... and Paraparaumu airfield - the right place to rest before getting down to a bigger city. Thanks for those who gave me some inspirations for flying in NZ, beside the two gentlemen mentioned above...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimNZ Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Mr Stillwater, these shots would bring tears to a glass eye. Thank you. Actually this whole area was where I lived and worked before heading home to MtTaranaki after receiving a horrible hiding on a 8 vicious bikies v me. Now I live in a wheelchair and/or bed. They are truly marvelous and I appreciate every one. Regards, JimNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakashi Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Great shots Gerold, and thanks for the acknowledgements! I'm still exploring NZ, east coast of South Island almost complete, crossing the bay soon to North Island, fly for 50-60 nm or nearest a/p, let down, save and start again tomorrow.

I look for some sights in Plan-G, then chose the plane to have approx. 60 min. flights. 13 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: Beautiful set Gerold! I can't get enough of NZ!

You can´t do more than making the best out of what is the situation, and try to have fun whereever possible (well, that is true for all of us). Thanks you so much for your comment and the NZL hints (I have them saved & transferred into Plan-G...)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the photoreal volcanoes work so smooth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
