Bombardier Undercarriage

Flight from Wellington to Nelson, takeoff and landing and a couple of shots of Cook Strait and the Marlborough Sounds. I can hold the camera steady, it was a bit bumpy on takeoff. Look for the golfers.

Great vid, those planes don't go very high do they, I though you guys nearly hit that hill at 1.40

They can go fairly high, usually cruise around 12,000 feet. Yes we are as close to the hills as it looks, one of the approaches to Nelson takes you through a valley and you are below hilltop and close to ridges. Only in the daytime in fine weather though :-)

I loved that first contact of the wheels on the RWY! Beautiful. Great scenery too, of what you caught on tape! Great!

You got me there, just remembered it was the aisle with the emergency exits in, the hostess asked me if I minded being in it in case of needing to open the door in an emergency. You might find a seating plan somewhere. What you can do is check in electronically at Wgton, I don't know if you can choose your seats but might be worth a look if you're flying sometime soon.

Couldn't tell you the exact number, for some reason 8 is in my head. Starboard side behind the engine anyway. Unfortunately my digital only has limited video capability, I do have a couple of good vids on VHS from my old camera though, and have just recently got a neat toy for converting VHS analogue to digital so will get them on sometime. Thanks for watching.
