Another flight today

In case you hadn't noticed, I am on holiday this week :-), and so I've been hanging around the aero club a bit more than usual. Today dawned with low cloud and a mixed-bag of a forecast. In the end it turned out quite nice enough. the cloud base was above 2000 feet and the winds were a chilly, but reasonably gentle 15/ 16 knots [just under 30 km/hour].

Like a couple of days ago, I took Piper PA38-112 Tomahawk ZK-TAW up. Rhys [a student pilot] came along for the ride, and the following photos are some of those he took on my camera.

The flight itself was a quick scenic followed by a couple of circuits. The scenic photos are from the south-west corner of the North Island - around Karori Rock and Ohau Point. The aerodrome photos are of Wellington International Airport. Apologies for some of the image quality - next time I'll ensure the windscreen is cleaner...

Enjoy!

    Hey, Rodney, how about getting a plane that allows you to land and drive when the weather is a problem?

    Hi Martin,

    Yeah, it looks interesting, although, you know what they say - never take v1.0 of anything, full of bugs :-)

    Cheers,

    Rodney
