Jack Sawyer Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 So back on 22 November Martyn recommended some places to visit in NZ. Start out at NZNV, Invercargill and head to Stewart Island. So I did and landed at Ryan's Creek. Beautiful area. Here we are at lovely Invercargill. It's a very nicely done airport. I liked the buildings in the background. Also nicely done. We're rolling... Liftoff Now for a 200 degree heading Nice ain't it? I thought about it, I really did! I love that water, what a beautiful paradise. Heading off shore to the island It's up ahead, through these clouds Yup, there's Stewart Island You can already see those lovely NZ trees! Let's have a look at that lake. Lower It would be. a nice picnic spot! So let's explore a little bit of the island There's Ryan's Creek, now to land Turning around to line up Ok, we need a chainsaw! A small but likable field Oops! Safely down Thanks @VH-KDK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Great to see you're doing a "Tiki Tour" of your own, Jack! I know you're no stranger to ORBX New Zealand, so I know you'll see why I find it hard to "fly" anywhere else! So much ORBX goodness packed into a tiny area! Great shots - keep going!!! Adam.

Thanks Adam, yeah, last time I flew to a lot of airports in the Staggerwing, this time I'm doing things a little differently. I have to agree, this is one of the best if not the best region they make. 6 hours ago, adambar said: Beautiful shots from NZ Jack, great job! Thanks Adam!
