John Crone Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 First VL3 landing at Milford Sound, New Zealand. A very intimidating place with airfield near sea level surrounded by 6000 ft peaks and both approaches constrained. This was for runway 11 which is pretty straightforward, 29 is much more fun! If you want to read more about it see https://www.aviation.govt.nz/assets/publications/gaps/gap-in-out-and-around-milford-web.pdf Approach was from the western entrance to the sound. The last pic has the famous Mitre Peak in the background. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ricciardi Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 We don't have views like those here in the States, at least on the East Coast! Love the paint colors. My plane just got back from the paint shop with a similar shade of blue, along with light and dark silver, in the 916iS Limited "pixel" design.

John Crone Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 I didn't like the 2 blues offered so chose BMW Misano Blue, with Porsche Grey and Skoda Moon White. The blue does look great with the tan leather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
