VH-KDK Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Final instalment sees the Argonaut come down from the mountains across the flat scenery to Christchurch. Jason was a character in Greek Mythology. He and about 50 followers sought the Golden Fleece. His followers were called Argonauts, who were sailors from the ship Argo, literally meaning Argo sailors. The Golden Fleece is believed to be from the habit of people from the Black Sea area putting a sheeps fleece in the rivers to catch grains of gold. OK so on with the flying. 33. Near the town of Mount Somers. 34. Hookey Knob is in the nearest mountain with Mount Somers behind. 35. The Canterbury River with Mount Alford to the left. 36. Turning for the coast with the Rakaia River and Lake Coleridge in the distance. Mount Hutt is the nearest mountain with the Blackhill range behind. 37. Correcting to go back on course. Too busy admiring the wonderful ORBX scenery. 38. The Canterbury River Heads straight to the Canterbury Bight 50km away. 39. 40. 41. Nearing Christchurch. 42. Lake Ellesmere is in the background. 43. On long finals over Templeton. 44. Rwy 02 is in sight. 45. Passing over the junction of Yaldhurst Road and Highway 1. 46. Safely down and heading for the terminal. 47. End of the flight next to some more modern aircraft. Many thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed the flight as much as I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
