Had a great flight in the Arrow tonight. With the bad weather crossing the country I flew from Ohakea, across the central plateau to Rangitaiki on the Napier-Taupo road. It was a great flight, dodging clouds around Waiouru, then descending through the snow covered Kaimanawa’s.
Rangitaiki is a strip which has interested me ever since reading about it being used by jets in the 1960’s! Photos of Vampires blowing HUGE clouds of pumice dust were posted on the Wings Over NZ forum, and since then I’ve wanted to visit this strip 🙂
