Waikato Aero Club Trip to Warbirds Over Wanaka
5 - 8th April 2012
Friday 6th April
Another fabulous day - not a cloud in the sky. A few of us went to suss out the local aero club with the thought it might be possible to do some mountain flying or, failing that, at least refuel the aircraft for an early Sunday departure and find out if we could get the weather forecast from the club on Sunday morning before flying back home.
Well, there was one instructor there and a charter pilot who were free until the early afternoon so two pilots plus a spouse went up with the instructor while myself and one of the Waikato students, Chris (CPL) flew to Milford Sound with the charter pilot acting as guide and safety pilot. Chris flew Queenstown to Milford and I flew back in WAM. Brilliant conditions with fabulous views - what a great way to spend our "free" day!!
