Sunday Night Ops for 9th November 2008 - Worldflight Finale: NZAA->YBBN->YSSY or NZAA->YSSY



We'll be back to flying around NZ for all the other SNO events this month, but first, this Sunday is the Worldflight Finale. After a week of non-stop travel, the World Flight convoy will be returning to Sydney, and we're supporting our sister division - VATPAC - by piling on and adding to their airspace overload!

The SNO is split into two options, depending on the time you have available:

Option One: Auckland Brisbane Sydney
This option leaves Auckland at 3:30pm NZDT and flies to Brisbane arriving around 7pm NZDT - the same time as the World Flight. We then join the caravan for its final leg, departing for Sydney at approximately 7:45pm NZDT. Estimated arrival time at Sydney is 9:15pm NZDT.

Option Two: Auckland Sydney
This option leaves Auckland from 6pm NZDT and flies direct to Sydney to join in the fun as the World Flight arrives at its final destination around 9:30pm NZDT.
