A Sounds Air Sort of Day

It was an early start this morning to catch Sounds Air flight S8 801 from Taupo to Wellington this morning with a 6.20am departure! YAWN!

On descent in Wellington 

My ride to Wellington, Pilatus PC12 ZK-PLX...
...with the flight from Westport parked in front of us, Pilatus PC12 ZK-PLT
In the afternoon Cessna Grand Caravan ZK-SAA was about to launch for Blenheim
 

And after it departed we boarded S8 812 back to Taupo in ZK-PLT

Departing Middle Earth and flying into the Murk
Over the Murk
And clearing skies for the descent into Taupo
 



Lake Rotongaio
 

And a sunnier day at Taupo than in Wellington
I'm looking forward to flying Sounds Air again in September... I took advantage of the recent specials and booked a seat to Nelson and back on the Dominion Post newspaper service.
