New Zealand

While in Auckland, I decided to experiment with some different aircraft I had seen on the X-Plane User Forms site. 

I tried the Beechcraft Staggerwing biplane, which is way more than the usual old biplane. It's more of a fancy traveling machine, that people of its time were able to use, to get around faster, and in a little more style, than the usual air travelers of the time. 

 

I also experimented with the Supermarine Spitfire, the classic air combat flying machine that the British used to defend England during World War II.

Leaving Auckland, I switched to the Fairchild-Swearingen SA-227 Metro III, to island-hop a short way down to ChristChurch, NZ (NZCH).
