So today I decided to take my camera up in the plane to take some photos of some of the best scenery in the world. Over the day I took about 200 shots and so I though I might share some with you all (including some of the plane, cos this is an aviation forum :D )

Nah, he was away. Tomo Ashton is one of our instructors in WLG. He was the instructor. Tim Sullivan was there with the chippie aswell, he offered to take me up but we ran out of time. We are going to start doing regular club trips over there so Ill get my chance.

Hey nice shots man! Wasn't today great for flying, apart from getting in and out of IVC special VFR this morning I had lovely weather for a really nice flight over Doubtful Sound into Milford and then back home. Sorry no photos this time though. Will try and remember to take the camera this week B-)
