Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2008 6:05 pmSunday Night Ops for 19th October - Wellington to Auckland the Friendship Way
This Sunday our SNO (Sunday Night Operations) is to trace the route of the old NAC/Air NZ Daily Friendship service from Wellington to Auckland. The two routes we are following are:
Wellington/NZWN --> Wanganui/NZWU --> Whakatane/NZWK --> Auckland/NZAA
Wellington/NZWN --> Wanganui/NZWU --> Taupo/NZAP --> Auckland/NZAA
Click on the image to be taken to larger graphic of the route - and NOW with an ability to have only the routes you want displayed
These routes used to be operated by the NAC/AirNZ Friendship (F27) so bring out your favourite Prop/Turbo Prop and take the scenic route from Wellington to Auckland.
Note: If you're providing ATC on the night, please give priority to these positions. They are not an exclusive list, but they are the ones that will see the most action this Sunday.
To reserve a particular ATC position, please post a message to that effect (including the times you expect to be online) in this thread. And also book your position using vRoute - large numbers of bookings in vRoute attract additional traffic.
