When taking off from Greymouth we encountered some cloudy conditions.

At least the forests around Runanga were clearly visible, ...

... as well as the Punakaiki Rocks below.

But turning inland made the situation a bit more tricky...

... with only limited space between the cloud layer and the "scientific mountains".

Look at these names: Ramsay, Dewar, Priestley, Curie, Mendel, Pasteur, Einstein, Rutherford and Euclid. Quite the educational trip if you type these names in wikipedia.

And quite the uncomfortable trip if you continue in VFR.

At least we discover Buller River, ...

A great scenery, ...

... at the Moutere region...

... and downwind into...

... Motueka.

A very witty and educational flight (for science!) Gerold :) Definitely looks like some low cloud cover made that flight a little more interesting over that nice terrain. Enjoyed the screenshots!

Thank you Landon. Always a challenge flying with these low hanging clouds - sure one can go higher, but you won´t see the beautiful scenery then :o!

Superb set Gerold, I never discovered science.

That's why I'm still doing year 8 for the last forty years.:blink:

cheers

Well, these are the mountains to help you further. Be it in p3d or MSFS or XP, all more exciting than year 8....

You make my day, Graeme - inspiring for a flight is the best purpose of the screenshot forum.
