Cool Spectacular scenery & scary approach.....A pilots view of flying the approach to Queenstown New Zealand!

Been here a few years ago - though not by air ... the approach over the mountain passes by road was dramatic enough! Narrow valley locked in by rugged mountains (& lots of lakes) ... add the IMC approach down through clouds .... yikes ... ya gotta know where you are going & trust the instrument approach! :eek

WOW that was a cool video ... I really liked the part when they were flying along just above the cloud ..... I think it would be cool to see a jet come from below and break thru the cloud .... kinda like suddenly appear out of nowhere.

A simple thank you would have been enough for the morning coffee without all that "how did you get in here" nonsense.
