New Zealand 2018 V. Today´s flight video from New Zealand 2018 Expedition will take you to western coast of South Island and Mount Cook massif.
Flying New Zealand 2018, Part 5
On our fifth video showing the beauty of flying over New Zealand you will see our departure from Hokitika aerodrome as well as low flight over the spectacular western coast of South Island. The weather was beautiful and warm on that day so the ensuing flight over the ice fields and among the rocks of Mount Cook massif is somewhat surprising. The whole video culminates by a downhill flight through the valley of Franz Joseph glacier. Enjoy the beauty!
For Europeans New Zealand is, of course, somewhat far away. Therefore we want to bring this beautiful country to you at least on the videos and photos taken during our flight expedition named „New Zealand 2018“. Jiri Prusa flew this expedition in the first part of February which means in the full New Zealand summer. Despite that the weather was far from ideal. Only about half of the time it was VFR flyable.

The weather however, was no good. The alternative was to fly north-east alongside the coast and over less mountainous area. The eastern part of the South Island was sunny as was the aerodrome of Omaka.
The sixth video from the New Zealand video series video we will publish on Friday, May 11, 2018.
