I had to go Westport late this week and so ticked off the Wellington-Westport route... This is Sounds Air flight S8 907 to Westport


My ride to Westport, Pilatus PC-12 ZK-PLT arriving as flight S8 906 from Westport on 27 May 2021... a desperation shot just on dark - photoshopped slightly but I like the effect.

The original shot


Flying on a Sounds Air PC12 or an Air NZ Q300??? A lot more fun on a PC12!

I really need to learn how to get night shots on my my camera... a blurred Nelson as we passed slightly to the south

  2. I've only done CHC-BHE, NSN-PPQ and BHE-PPQ. Do want to try the WKA service at some point, maybe when WoW is on.

  3. All of them done! SA are a fantastic operator and a asset to the CP. Over 70 flights on SA according to Flightdiary for me.
