Went out to take a few photos of this aircaft today as its paint scheme will change next week to the more traditional Sounds Air colours so this was the only chance to capture this beauty in this scheme and in its natural element.
Thanks to Andrew and Craig for the opportunity and to Al for flying the Chang.
We cruised through to Picton for a bit of extra fun, pretty bumpy at times but what better way to spend an hour or two.

Got some nice photos and will post some once they are all sorted out.

Looks like Robin has to add some more buildings to Picton and Omaka!

I was really surprised as well.
Was my first flight for a few weeks and yip, it is really green but that will change when summer arrives.
