I got lucky today and managed to get in the jumpseat of VAC doing two flights for ANZ. sadly most of the photos are pretty horrible (i got heaps on approach to each airport but some are so blurry you can't tell whats in the pic). Anyway, without further ado, here they are:

Panel view on the ground in Wellington

Over Titahi Bay heading North climbing to FL170

A shot back towards the South Island

A pretty sad try at a sunset shot

Another wing view (i changed a setting and it made a slower shutter speed hence the prop looking much faster)

The best of the shots i got in Hamilton, resting the camera on what i later found was an un-emptied Freedom Air Rubbish bin <_<

And to finish off a pretty poor shot of Trolly's favourite machine, just about to depart to Woodbourne:

I took heaps more photos on the flight back etc but they're too blurry. Who really cares about the photos, because the trip was ace anyway :clap:

Enjoy!

Its easy when you are Vincent Junior

I wish that VAC would come into Palmy more often...although we do get the Beech's in everyday so I guess its a compromise
