Stillwater Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 On this nice autumn day we make a little tour around the NP, starting from Motueka... ... passing other potential accomodations at Kaiteriteri... ... and "kayak" along Adele Island... ... towards Pitt Head. We make our way towards the shores of the Golden Bay near Takaka, ... ... climb back over the Kahurangi Hills... ... across our starting point, Motueka... ... and over the bay... ... into Nelson. The grass runway 20R is hard to spot. But it works! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Great floatplane trip Gerold. Only problem is you did not have any water landings in said floatplane I love a good water landing (and takeoff!). Otherwise, some more great shots from the Travels of Gerold Landon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingleaf Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Great pics. nice trip Gerold. What's wrong with them pontoons? Did yer all sprung a leak? If yer did, me boy you all gotta have some "duck tape" y'all know that's why them Ducks stay and afloat ( a piece on the bum and da nose and we's all as watertight as a rubber ducky in the tub), Boy. Y'all got that now. Am sure being a scientist an all you knewed that. Right Gerold. Cheers k. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boetie Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Those grass strips are hard to spot and difficult to land. Well done mate, great set Cheers Graeme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I have been too impatient to make an intermediate landing... On 3/29/2022 at 9:15 AM, Iain Emms said: Great set of shots cheers Iain Thank you Iain!

As said above, I was too impatient to see what´s around the next corner to make a landing. 23 hours ago, flyingleaf said: Great pics. nice trip Gerold. What's wrong with them pontoons?

And I hurried towards the next winery in Nelson, that´s why I did not get out on the pontoon during the flight looking for potential leaks. PS: That reminds me of the air acrobats about 100 years ago, when they were climbing outside of the planes - something we can´t simulate. Yet. 17 hours ago, lifejogger said: Great tour and super shots Gerold!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you John! 17 hours ago, boetie said: Those grass strips are hard to spot and difficult to land.

A virtual risk, luckily... 10 hours ago, mikee said: Beautiful shots Thanks a lot, Mikee! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
