...or not... the approach was too high and too fast, so I had to go around and try again...

Smashing set these Jeff.

 

Great post Jeff , quality shots and a flight plan to use . Thanks for showing again why NZSI is one of the best places to fly in Orbx world .

 

Really enjoyed following this flight Jeff...

 

Excellent set Jeff.

Like the DC-3 and the scenery.

 

 

Thanks Guys. I thought I would include the PlanG shot show those who do not know NZ can get a feel for the flight and then the shots will show the journey.

I was watching "NZ From Above" on TV the other day and it's a great series for showing off the NZ scenery; the great thing is, I can go "ooh, that's interesting, and then re-create the flight in FSX/NZSI. So I have one or two other flight plans to run through. The only downside is that often the TV show will show something interesting but not tell you *exactly* where it is; only within a general area (and often a fairly large area at that); I guess that just adds to the interest of trying to find it! Its fun :)   (all I need now is the time, and peace & quiet from the two babies; unlikely!)

 

Cheers
