I'm sure you have heard me mention before that a local airline from my area, Great Barrier Airlines, own the only Britten Norman Tri-Islander in the Southern Hemisphere- in fact, as I am typing this post, I can hear one buzzing above my house right this minute!

Well I have eventually downloaded a flightsim version of it, and took it out for a spin this week- flying it on its real life route from NZOX to NZAA.

(9 images totalling 1.06mb to follow)

Thats all, I hope you enjoyed my pictures displaying one of the weirdest shaped aircrafts around ;)
