Cross country passenger

I went out to the Aero Club this morning and ended up getting invited along for a cross-country flight as a passenger [Yippee!]. The plan for the flight was Wellington- Paraparaumu [touch and go] -Wanganui [full stop landing]- overhead Waverley- return to Wellington.

It was a good flight, and I managed to get a few photos [of varying quality...], as follows. Top to bottom are:
- Climbing out from Wellington
- Looking towards Wellington Airport / Lyall Bay
- The Hutt Valley [north of Wellington, just north of Avalon]
- Approaching Paraparaumu Airfield
- Kapiti Island [just west of Paraparaumu]
- Approaching Wanganui
- Wanganui Airport apron
- The old Wanganui Control Tower [has not been manned for many years]
- Piper Archer PA28-181 from Air Hawkes Bay visiting Wanganui

Enjoy [I did!]!
