]Not be big deal after flying the Cook Strait between the two NZ islands a couple of weeks ago. Would just have to get CASA approval.The flight across the Cook Strait was tremendous. I will attach a couple of pics. I am half way through writing the story on my last trip to NZ.My mate said was I concerned and I told him heck no, I have a life jacket and it aon't my gyro!!!!![:0]From the coast of the North island to the light house was 22nm, and then over the Marlborough Sounds. It was still 90% water. I reckon we spent 1 hr.20 mins overe water at least 5 nm from land during the 2 hr flight from the Nth Island to Nelson.Aussie Paul.[
