Flying New Zealand 2018, Part 4
The fourth video from New Zealand shows the first part of a two day trip around South Island. We flew from Nelson Airport towards Nelson Lakes National Park and then to the Southwest. We hit the wild western coast and flew alongside it to the South.
On the way I managed to try one beach touch and go landing and fly through another river canyon. There is no point describing here the beauty of the wild western coast, you just need to watch the video.
For Europeans New Zealand is, of course, somewhat far away. Therefore we want to bring this beautiful country to you at least on the videos and photos taken during our flight expedition named „New Zealand 2018“. Jiri Prusa flew this expedition in the first part of February which means in the full New Zealand summer. Despite that the weather was far from ideal. Only about half of the time it was VFR flyable.

The weather however, was no good. The alternative was to fly north-east alongside the coast and over less mountainous area. The eastern part of the South Island was sunny as was the aerodrome of Omaka.
The fifth video from the New Zealand video series video we will publish on Friday, May 4, 2018.
