Sunday Night Ops for 11th May 2008 - Cook Strait Invasion NZWN <--> NZWB <--> NZNS and vv[/size]

 

 

This Sunday our SNO (Sunday Night Operations) is concentrated on flying over the Cook Strait between the North and South Islands, it's our COOK STRAIT INVASION!

 

Due to the short routes and closeness of the airports, the challenge is there to our pilots to fill the skies and keep the controllers busy!

 

Real world routes are operated by Dash-8s and Beech 1900s, so it's time to get out your turboprops and head over the Cook Strait.
