New Cessna 150

[Q300]

Well I was in the market for a new Aircraft when I stumbled upon a very nicly restored C150, so to cut a long story short I rang the seller and brought it imediatly with out even seeing it but there was one catch the aircraft was located in Invercargil. So with a bit of planing and some cash I was off on an ANZ flight to Invercargil.

On arrivel I went strait to the hanger where the aircraft was located and meet with the seller, who laughted when I told him I planned on flying it to New Plymouth(in small and some long hops of couse) we wealed the plane out and opened here up for a look, the new engine had only done 0|0|0|1|48 hours and she had also been nicly kitted out with a Garmin panel mounted GPS 295. So the seller said his good bys and I headed off on the first flight to Mount Cook via Te Anau for a short lunch.
So far ive only made it to Te Anau for that short lunch but am heading off again soon to MT Cook, and I have to say the weather in southland realy showed off

First of many pics, none in the air sory I was to busy having a play

There's a very nice freeware Mt Cook, by Peter Lohr - search on avsim for NZMC. Infinitely better than just a runway in the wilderness!
