Thats spectacular Dusty!! How did you get there - over the top or did you go around the coast?? Beautiful area - we have not been tot he Milford sound but the Queenstown and Wanaka a few times skiing. That narrow strip looks tight! there woudn't have been much room left at the wing tips!

thanks for the posts - great wild country for flying a Kitfox.

cheers

Dusty,
I really appreciate these photos. I have been to New Zealand only once, and it remains one of my all-time favorite places. While there, we were limited to the Lyttleton - Christchurch area. I would love to visit again and see what you are seeing from the air.

Ross .We went over the top,it's not very high,7000ft will get through most of our passes.We are planning a circumnavigation of the South Island but the south west corner (puyseger point)hasn't given us a usable window as yet,there's still plenty of time for you to head over
Gorge river strip was one time thing for me as the wind was light for a change and we had some other aircraft there,the photo doesn't do justice to how rough the strip is,my passenger dropped his camera on the last part of the rollout

Lowell,it would be great to catch up if ever you get back this way,I will pm you later regarding the suspension.

That looks exciting! Beautiful country. Looks like fun, fun, fun.

Ross, when I get mine finished, I'm going to plan a trip to the great south Island of NZ. My son-in-law comes from Nelson up north and I agree, some of the most beautiful country around. Also, I gotta land on that Milford Sound strip and fly along some of those canyons - looks spectacular ...

maybe if we organises a group from over this side of the ditch we can combat some of the cheek we are going to cop from Dusty!
