We're so happy to be back...



"We're so happy to be back," First Officer Brian told his and Captain Sarah's 17 passengers on Originair's first flight since the last lockdown out of Hamilton this morning. And it was clear that the regulars on the flight were happy for Originair to be back with an obvious relationship with the crew. 

Originair resumed it's Hamilton services last evening with BAe Jetstream 32 ZK-JSK operating OG 265 from Nelson to Hamilton.

Airborne Hamilton


Matangi road... I was pounding that road about 5.15am to clock up by 100th consecutive day of 10,000 steps

Matangi village... one of my walking destinations and home of the BEST fish and chip shop

Good bye Hamilton

The only sunshine today was above the clouds
