It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

Air West Coast Dornier Do 228
This Air West Coast Dornier Do 228 was spotted at Wellington today. ZK-VIR is a "one of type" on the New Zealand register and has been operated by Air West Coast for under a year. Having previously seen inside the aircraft it has spacious seating and so is probably quite comfortable for most passengers. Not sure how noisy the cabin is though - those two Garrett turbines are hardly what you would call quiet...

This aircraft has been in Wellington for a while, as I photographed it there on Thursday and saw it again on Friday.
