Wild Weather at North Shore

Last weeks wild weather wasn't great for plane spotting... there were only a couple of days where I took some pics at North Shore

On the 2nd of January 2023 Barrier Air's Cessna Grand Caravan ZK-SDE was having a rocky ride into North Shore

A couple of minutes later Island Aviation's BN Islander ZK-SFK took the same rocky ride... the Islander had left the Barrier before the Caravan which had passed it enroute.

On the 4th of January Barrier Air's Cessna Grand Caravan ZK-SDC arrived from the Barrier but the weather closed in and it stayed at North Shore overnight before positioning to Auckland the next day. This is certainly not the summer the airlines serving Great Barrier were looking for!
