Flight to Paraparaumu and back

Today's flight was from Wellington [NZWN] to Paraparaumu [NZPP] and back, with 3 circuits at NZPP. The main reason was to get current in the Piper PA38-112 Tomahawk. It was also an excuse to try out my new GoPro Hero 5 Session camera.

The video isn't great - despite how it looks, the camera was attached firmly [using Blutack no less!] to the dashboard - next time I'll leave the camera's software image stabilisation off.

The weather was a little worse for my return, although perhaps not quite as bad as it looks here...

    Thanks Andrew. yeah, it was all good until final approach. Would have been safe, but significantly reduced viz in places, had I had to go around. Fun times!

    I realize it's normal for you but for some of us the idea of flying in to Wellington seems scary and expensive:(
