The recent coverage of aircraft at Neils Beach by Aaron Murphy was, I think, part of the recent AOPA flyin to Haast. This flyin was held in lovely weather and featured flyouts to quite a few remote airstrips in South Westland. One of the participating aircraft was the Taieri based Bearhawk ZK-FHR2 of Murray Paterson.
Jonathan Powles flew in the Bearhawk over the flyin and he has posted an excellent video on You Tube documenting the flight over to Haast and back, as well as landing on the many remote airstrips. The video starts with a flight from Pukaki up the Tasman Glacier and over to the West Coast. I have taken some screenshots and included the link to the video below.
Heading up Lake Pukaki in glorious weather,
And up the Tasman Glacier,
At the top of the glacier,
And over the divide with a view of the Tasman Sea (the 4 bladed prop is a photographic illusion).
Here is the link to the video (it is 46 minutes long): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bu1fGX9Mx0
