NZ 2/3 Hopping from Ardmore to Coromandel
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2008 4:16 pmI went for an early morning flight from Ardmore to Coromandel in New Zealand. Took a load of pics, most posted as links here to lower forum footprint.... 
Hope you liked this little set, the third and last to come in a couple of days.
Cheers!

Smokey start-up.
Taxiing to find a strip of grass to get up from.

We're up! Reminds me of Bob70s great shot so I'm dedicating this one to him! :)

Doesn't look too bad for default textures. I suppose the addon mesh, landclass, water and sky kind of help though...
Leaving Ardmore behind...

Heeere's......the Coromandel peninsula.
My 1st final approach to Coromandel segued effortlessly into a low pass after I stopped looking at the scenery and started paying attention to airspeed... it was a tad fast.
Second time lucky, but... it's another 'Arse!!' moment in the brakeless Tiger Moth...

...but she slowed quickly and I took evasive action to avoid denting the airfield fence. We would live to fly another day.
