Flight to Christchurch

Yesterday I had a quick trip to Christchurch for a Flying NZ meeting. It was planned as an 8:05am departure to Christchurch, then a 6:05pm return to Wellington.

The aircraft for the flight to Christchurch was an ATR-GIE ATR72-600, ZK-MVH, which is operated by Mount Cook Airline [part of the Air NZ group]. The first photo is obviously of the aircraft, the second of the view the entire way to Christchurch :-)

Scenic views :-)

The flight home was a Bombardier DHC8-311. No photos of this, although the view was much the same...
