Free Flight, Free Speech

Hi everyone,

The World's Challenging Approaches is back after a short while (5 months ) because I was mostly busy with college stuff, but starting from this leg the tour will be monthly.

Thanks to Vincent (KL-666) and J-Maverick16 for accompanying me in the last leg while the others were busy with RL since it was Easter. The last leg to MHTG was completed without any drama The winds favoured 02 and we performed the RNAV 02 approach.

This time the airport we would be flying to is Queenstown (NZQN) in New Zealand.

When?
