Did my first sole here a looong time ago! Note the shortness of the strip which makes it good for training.

The strip has recently been upgraded, including markers. It is very smooth.

Fuel

🔗 Fri, 09 Jan 2009

There seems to be differing rates for AVGAS. Might pay to ring ahead to negotiate.

Closed?

Railway line

— @Capitano.Nico at Gisborne Airport, New Zealand

Luckily (or maybe not) the rail transport is not that advanced and under utilised and you could wait all day to see a train!

Favourite stop for lunch

🔗 Sun, 23 Nov 2008
— @Capitano.Nico at Glentanner Airport, New Zealand

My route took us from CHC to the Westcoast, past the glaciers and Mt Cook to this nice place. You need to ring ahead.

If you want to get a way from it all. This strip is just around 1000 km north from Perth. Well worth it!
