Checking out Island Aviation

Yesterday I tried out Island Aviation, New Zealand's newest airline on a flight from Waiheke Island to Great Barrier Island. Pilot for the day was Jacob Taylor and the aircraft was Britten Norman Islander ZK-PIZ... The weather was a bit dull going over but was superb for the flight back.
