Around the Mountains Trip - Auckland Aero Club 28 July 2013

With Business all sorted it was time for a fun club trip to Taupo to fly around the mountains (Mt Ngauruhoe and Mt Ruapehu)

Flew from Auckland to Taupo in a Cessna 172 and then around the mountains in a Cessna 162 before having lunch in Taupo and heading home in a Piper Warrior PA28
