First photos for 2017

First photo for 2017 and my ride to Christchurch, Mount Cook Airlines' ATR 72-600 ZK-MCI at Christchurch on 1 January 2017

And the real bonus... at last, Sounds Air's Pilatus PC12 ZK-PLZ had just arrived ahead of us from Wanaka. Photo taken at Christchurch on 1 January 2017

  1. Sounds Air to Wanaka very interesting maybe a route proving flight for them?

  2. PLZ had a very busy day flying Woodbourne-Auckland-Napier-Woodbourne-Nelson-Wanaka-Christchurch! I saw it arriving into Auckland just on sunrise, would have been a very pleasant trip north watching the first sunrise of 2017.

  3. Thanks for reply, good to know what it is up to. Sounds Air must have made a bit of money out of that charter. I expect the pilot will be tired after that long shift.

  4. Jarden, I would imagine one pilot/crew did BHE-AKL-NPE-BHE and another did BHE-NSN-WKA-CHC-BHE
