New Zealand 2018 I.

New Zealand 2018 I.      In the newest videoseries we are bringing to you flight videos taken during our New Zealand 2018 Expedition. 

Flying over the New Zealand 2018, Part 1

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.

Jiri therefore split the expedition into four parts returning every time to Nelson. Even the original itinerary of the expedition had to be somewhat changed. The first video of the New Zealand series shows the attempt to fly over the mountains in the south-east direction from Nelson.

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 return journey led through the valley of Wairau River. An attempted landing at a grass airstrip had to be aborted because of sheep on the strip. Nelson airport was rainy again on return.

The next video showing you the beauty of western coast of South Island will appear on our web in one week i.e. on Friday, April 13, 2018.
