NZNI 4 – Auckland and More

 

 

 

Starting from Kaitaia the route proceeds south with stops at Dargaville (NZDA), Springhill (NZSL), Northshore (NZNE) before flying around Auckland Harbor.  After a touch and go at Auckland International we head across the mudflats and inlet to Manakau Head before turning south again to Mercer (NZME) and then Hamilton (NZHN).  The final leg is a longish 133nm run across the North Island to Gisborne.

 

 

Because the route is somewhat long (372nm) an aircraft capable of 250+knts is recommended. Choose your favorite warbird, but as always you are free to fly what you like.

In a couple of years I'll be out of short trousers.

 

Dang! I'm looking forward to this. Best blow the cobwebs out of my Mustang.

Don't have a warbird.  Any suggestions?

Find something that is reasonably fast in your hanger like the Legacy, Epic LT, TBM850, or a Business Jet.
