A local flight

I was not planning on going for a flight today, but another club member, Andrew turned up with the intention of a flight in Piper PA28-181 Archer, ZK-TDJ. I was keen to get off the ground and so it wasn't long before I was a passenger on a local scenic flight [thanks Andrew].

Many of the photos were a bit ordinary, but here are some of the better ones.

Top to bottom are looking north up the Hutt Valley, Andrew's new GPS screen, looking through a valley to some light rain, final approach into Wellington runway 34 and the GPS track.

Enjoy!

  3. Nick - I did not play with all of the features, but it was ceratinly the easiest unit I have played with.

    Hindsfeet - Thanks! Often I only get photos when I am a passenger [too busy otherwise!], although I will try and get more.

    Cheers!
