R22's at Tauranga..

And this smooth looking mean machine...

Snapped MAT on climb-out..

Heres the aircraft home. ZK-NEO, the same aircraft I arrived on a few days ago, given NEA was aircraft number 1, this must be #15. The latest Air NZ mag says they have 13, so perhaps this baby is brand new with a capital B?

Goodbye Tauranga, goodbye Mt Maunganui


And finally flying home, Ruapehu lifted her veils enough to get a peek at the crater lake...
