Tri-Islander

[ardypilot]

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)

1. Liftoff from NZOX


2. Climbing away from The Barrier


3. Crusing over a misty Hauraki Gulf


4. Crossing the tip of Waiheke Island


5. Flying parrallel to the mainland


6. Eventually arriving over Auckland City


7. Just above Mt Wellington Quarry


8. Low over the newly opened Slyvia Park- the countrys largest shopping centre


10. Following the motaray above Otara on the way to NZAA


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