The only times that I've been to NZ is a transit stop in Auckland. I really must make it out of the airport next time *music

Adding video to channels (Music) - requested by blackfox42.

Stop gloating. We all know NZ wins most beautiful country on the planet. You don't have to rub it in our faces. ;-)

Next, I want to see a Rotorua flyover....then a trip down the Shotover. Both gorgeous, the latter actually being a gorge!

Any time someone has an extra plane ticket or two to NZ to give away, I'll take them.

Scary in the clouds.

I spent a few months in New Zealand, including some nights in Rotorua and a trip down the Shotover. Rotorua is funky and reeks of sulfur from the vents everywhere, and the Shotover jet boat ride is fantastic. But the highlight was a flying lesson in a Piper Cub over Wanaka, north of Queenstown. It's a bucket list must!

Sometimes what a pilot sees is something that no one wants to see ever. Like the side of a mountain at 400+ mph. A few feet in front of the nose....

Why yes, Of course I'm jealous.
