Don
You should have a good view of the NZ countryside through that big clear bubble.

Thanks Philippe,
I like to fly my sim as realistic as possible as many do. I guess it is inbread in me after 51 years with the airlines but now retired, the sim allows me to keep my hand in just that little bit. Good fun and a great community.
Cheers Rob

Hi Philippe,
Thanks for the sight information regarding scenery for New Zealand, that will be helpful for those flying the NZAR.
With regard to the DC-3 and Milford Sound, when I do the flight plans for this type of event including the GAAR I like to base it on real world operations. You may be able to fly a DC-3 into Milford on a simulator but defininatly not in the real world. You may get the aircraft in but you would never be able to fly it out again. This is not because of runway length but the topography that surrounds the airfield, the runway at Milford is a one way operation and a DC-3 would never out climb the surrounding mountains on take-off, hence I would never include this airport in a rally as many that fly our rallies like to fly the DC-3.
March this year my wife and I did a 12 day air tour of the North and South Islands of NZ in a DC-3 operated by Fly DC3 NZ (ZK-DAK), we did visit Milford Sound on the tour but our aircraft had to land at Te Anau and then we went to Milford by coach.
Thanks again for your input as all inputs to the forum are most welcome, enjoy flying in New Zealand.
Cheers Rob BGAD 003

Hi Brian, Thanks for your suggestion. Each February we run a rally called Great Australian Air Rally GAAR which has been running for the past 16 years. On occasions we include NG in those flights and would not be keen to add NG as a seperate event for a September rally.
If you have other suggestions for the September rally then by all means post them as they are greatly appreciated.
Cheers Rob

Hi Pilots,
As this is the second NZAR we have just about exhausted the airfields in New Zealand that can realistically handle a medium sized aircraft such as a DC-3 which many like to fly, hence this will be the last NZAR at least for awhile.
We at BGA would still like to hold another rally in September 2017 for your enjoyment, so what I would like to ask is for your suggestions as to what country, state, territory or area you would like a new rally to be held for 2017.
So please come forward and post suggestions, talk it out with your sim friends or we can discuss your thoughts on this forum.
All suggestions will be taken onboard so we may present you with another fun rally for 2017, naturally the GAAR run each February will run as normal.
Thanks for your input, it will be greatly appreciated.

You are right Wayne, 22 is correct. Allan must have missed it when he changed the original dates which were one week earlier. I am sure Allan will adjust when he reads your post.
Thanks Rob NZAR Flight Planning
