Another real flight flown in real time!
Prompted two fold by the BN Islander resurrected and noticed on Flightradar, doing a joyride out to Great Barrier Island.
And also for the first time (I believe) a little scenery for Claris, in any sim.

Off we go:

Just a half hour after leaving, into North Shore

The two sceneries do capture the "feel" of their real world counterparts I reckon.

The terminal at Claris has sure changed from when I used to fly out there. It only had grass runways back then as well.

It's the new Waiheke, quite a bit going on there.

Coincidentally this morning -PIZ and -SFK were schmoozing around the place.
I guess the cruise ships drive that traffic, there was also a bit of helo circuitry around the Gulf, including a very swish H155.
