Low level through the hills following three of my fellow pilots 6. Hot on the tail of Jeff and Norm 7. There was some pretty close formations! 8. Climbing out of Invercargill (NZNV) after my touch and go with Jeff, Norm, Roger, Ron and Roy taking their turn 9. 345 knots, 107 feet above sea level 10.

Roger and Roy had to leave us at Christchurch. - AS37 Norm Edwards - 10-29-2006 Spectacular Mark fantastic shots well done. Thanks for all the good work you put into todays flyin - Buckeye Roy - 10-29-2006 Great shots Mark. I definitely had a great time. It was alot of fun, especially the low-level flying along the coast. Below are a couple of shots I took of the group getting ready to depart Queenstown and all lined up and smiling for a group photo at Christchurch. What a difference when you have the enhanced scenery. - AS380 Mark Richards - 10-29-2006 Thanks for sharing your pics as well Roy. And yes, NZ is my home, even though I now live in Australia, but have almost every possible bit of addon scenery for NZ that I can lay my hands on and it sure does make a difference, especially low level!! Glad you enjoyed yourself and thanks for supporting the first ASHA flyin I have organised. Mark - AS283 Roger Dean - 10-29-2006 Nice pics 8) It was a lot of fun. Loved the low level flying over the rolling hills. - Guest - 10-29-2006 Awesome shots Mark! The series clearly depicts the flight in detail and the scenery is great! That sure was some low alt. flying, worthy of a Thunderbird review, - jsummers - 10-29-2006 Well the 1500Z fly-in was riddled with problems. I had problems with FS Host and others trying to connect. We got that resolved, then lost FS HOST altogether soon after departure. Regained the server before our arrival into Dunedin. This picture was taken right before departure at Christchurch. Default scenery, and not as pretty as Mark's. Oh by the way, we lost Ken on the server, - JSkorna - 10-30-2006 Very nice job!
