DAY 23, LEG 99 - Norfolk Island to Hamilton
Our last leg of the day takes us to Hamilton, New Zealand, home of Eagle Airways maintenance who will overhaul the aircraft overnight and remove the ferry tank which was fitted in Santiago to allow us to cross the Pacific. Before setting off, we make sure the ferry tank is empty so we do not lose any fuel when the engineers take it out!
Parked at Norfolk Island preparing for departure. It appears someone has hung the Australian and New Zealand flags the wrong way round on the terminal building!
Taking off from runway 11 at Norfolk Island and setting course.
The sunset is having a dramatic effect on the clouds below.
Approaching the city of Auckland and preparing for descent.
A little high on final to runway 36 at Hamilton but the aircraft is configured for landing and the speed is coming back so it should present no problems for the Beech.
Parked in front of the hangar at Hamilton.
