Here's an invitation to join our informal group flight on the evening of 11 June 2023 (Sunday) starting at 7.30pm (NZDT).

We're doing a supply run out to various communities in the Sounds.

We'll be loading up the plane at Nelson (NZNZ).

Heading north, and dropping off supplies at the various remote airstrips (see map below). Because we're off-loading at each airstrip, we're doing stops at each landing.

When finished, we'll conclude our supply run flight at Picton (NZPN)

Flying will be in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
Server is South East Asia.
Time set is 1400 hours (1400 NZT).
Weather is optional.
Aircraft is the Cessna 208 Caravan (optional)

The flight plan is the map below.

Using Discord 'Long White Cloud' Server for voice traffic. Please try and have voice available. It makes its easier for everyone to know what's going on.

The Discord invitation, if you don't already belong, is https://discord.gg/zeNSwmQbyx

See you there, Dave (ZKDWF)

I have changed the route for Sunday due to the following:

1. D'Urville Island looks to be a victim of Climate Change, and has disappeared under the sea in my version of MSFS 2020.

2. Some of the original planned stops are near non-existent, or so short, the Caravan will not be able to land.

See you Sunday.

Regards, Dave
