I went for a flight in ZK-ADI 75 years on in December 2009, out of Hokitika Airport, but I also went for a flight in DH90 Dragonfly ZK-AYR on the same day. I actually forgot about the photographs and video clips I had taken during both flights, but while sorting through an old hard-drive a couple of years ago, I came across them, so posted them to my Facebook page, along with a couple of Facebook groups. Here is a link to the images and video clips on my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Kiwithrottlejockey/posts/pfbid02BZPUnjM8wp6vteNwYcvHGLo5s9yisszWq4Efi2ypswyHwnwwGknphd97n1BCFtdsl
