Great shots Mark. I definitely had a great time. It was alot of fun, especially the low-level flying along the coast.

Below are a couple of shots I took of the group getting ready to depart Queenstown and all lined up and smiling for a group photo at Christchurch. What a difference when you have the enhanced scenery.

Thanks for sharing your pics as well Roy. And yes, NZ is my home, even though I now live in Australia, but have almost every possible bit of addon scenery for NZ that I can lay my hands on and it sure does make a difference, especially low level!!

Glad you enjoyed yourself and thanks for supporting the first ASHA flyin I have organised.

Awesome shots Mark! The series clearly depicts the flight in detail and the scenery is great! That sure was some low alt. flying, worthy of a Thunderbird review,

Well the 1500Z fly-in was riddled with problems. I had problems with FS Host and others trying to connect. We got that resolved, then lost FS HOST altogether soon after departure. Regained the server before our arrival into Dunedin. This picture was taken right before departure at Christchurch. Default scenery, and not as pretty as Mark's. Oh by the way, we lost Ken on the server,
