Part 2 of my Stewart Island Flights adventure
 |
| Koru Club Stewart Island Flights style... After checking in I was told "we will pick you up from the pub" |
 |
| My ride back to Invercargill was in BN Islander ZK-FXE |
 |
| Jo Leask who has been handling the Stewart Island flights for years - that means, manning the depot, driving the shuttle van, doing control tower duties from the van at the airstrip |
 |
| So did you notice this about FXE? |
 |
| Ready to roll on 04 at Ryan's Creek |
 |
| Oban and Halfmoon Bay |
 |
| Horseshoe Bay |
 |
| Foveaux Strait traffic, the Gottfried Schulte with Bluff Hill in the distance |
 |
| Bluff Hill, the port and smelter |
 |
| Oreti Beach |
 |
| New River Estuary |
 |
| Finals 04 Invercargill... a bit more runway than Ryan's Creek and more than an Islander needs... I guess that;s why Stewart Island Flights don't operate Airbuses there |
 |
| My ride home |
 |
| And a big thanks to Cameron Pringle, the pilot on both flights! What an awesome day. Great to meet you Cameron and thanks for all your help |
Think all airlines need a pick up from the pub option! Would go down very well!
