SIngapore WSSS to Christchurch NZCH in a hurry.

Recommended Posts

Some nasty weather in the vicinity of WSSS. I think the huge front overhang unnerved the tug driver - at least the nose is pointing roughly in the right direction!

Not sure if the King Air was too happy having to hang back a bit from all that jet exhaust!
