And so, this is the end of all things....

, well, the end of my trip this week anyway, almost. Just the flight home tommorow to go. Dropped in at the airport, as you do, and found this guarding the entrance...

Oh my gosh- who could let this happen

I'm guessing this one is well past flyable condition. How many flyable DAK's are there left in the country now? Pionair sold their fleet to Pea' Vavu in Tonga didn't they? And the rest are stitched up as McDonalds and Cookietime resturants in Taupo

I could even take a picture if you can say what aircraft you'll be on.

I'm back Dude, didn't see this message until now. Arrived just after 3 in a 1900D on 34. Got heaps of photos of the flight I will share a bit later, some good cockpit shots.
