Definatly give it a go Nunner, its great, certainly worth it. Good to get farmilier with the aircraft before you go, if you aren't already, would make it even more enjoyable.

Let us know how you get on, if you do decide to give it a go.

Thanks
James

Is that Takapuna? (I don't know where Lake Road is)
If so it's the latest flagship Flight Experience branch in NZ. Beats Botany hands down. It's a fantastic sim and you'll have a great time.

Botany is still really cool, but in terms of technology, Takapuna is a lot more advanced. And due to it's age, Takapuna is just a little more reliable. Botany was the first sim ever built, and Takapuna is the latest- goes without saying which is likely to be better. But that said, Botany and Takapuna both provide enjoyable experiences!
I hope you do get a job there at Botany Andrew! I instructed for 10 months at Northlands and had a great time.
