Beautiful pictures of the planes and of New Zealand.

The 180 guys are just waking up from their beauty sleep here in the U.S., but I am sure they will be along shortly to view your great post.

Yawn...what's that Mau Mau? Coffee...coffee...coffee.

Oh!

scott185 thanks for posting the pics, keep them coming. New Zealand has long been on my list of fly fishing destinations. Great to see what some of the places you guys land look like, and the birds you fly.

I love that north face of Mt. Tutoko as seen from Lake Alabaster. Great to see the photos.

So both those 185's pictured have since changed hands :| good for some, bad for others!

What are you flying now Scott, if not the 185 nor Cresco?

Very occasionally Cessna Caravan, and even less occasionally, my favourite aircraft, Cessna 185. :(
