VH-KDK Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I like the De Havilland Rapide and this flight is from Queenstown to Glenorchy along Lake Wakatipu. 1. Some beautiful clear weather after my last flight in the North Island. 2. Where the Kawarau River is joined by the Shotover at Lower Shotover. 3. No shortage of yellow paint on the apron. 4. Flying up the Frankton Arm. 5. NZ153 at Mount Creighton 6. NZGY and Blanket Bay Lodge. 7. Glenorchy and the Rees River 8. Looping around Glenorchy with Glenorchy Lagoon. On the right is the Dart River. 9. Coming into land with Pigeon Island in the distance. 10. Plenty of sheep next to the airport and other fine detail. A very short but enjoyable flight.

BradB Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 No shortage of yellow paint on the apron...... That's what happens when you got a guy named Sawyer as a ramper . BTW Martyn these shots of course are your usual quality . Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John Well that explains it John, lucky that they have not been working on one of the mega airports! Oh dear! Shots of the usual quality and there was me thinking they were quite good.

Stillwater Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Great scenery around. Plus I like to see some good weather ahead! Lots of yellow color on the ground, but no yellow plane. Let us see if someone can change this pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Well done Martyn, another nice tour. And if I was the ramper in charge, the runways would be yellow! Just think how far away you could see them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have a yellow Rapide installed at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the upcoming "REX 6 VH-KDK edition" would have such a texture set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
