Nice takeoff footage Dan! Looks like it would have been good to escape that weather!

Thank you, yes the weather wasn't very nice when I left that day.

Has it really been 37 years since I flew into and out of Nelson? Would like to come back one of these days. Was competing for Dargaville High school in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships.

What would AirNZ do without the Dash-8? (Buy ATR-72s, I guess...)
