Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 has just released and to celebrate the new group flight feature lets get started with another Flight Club group flight! This week come join us while we leave the North Island, heading towards the South Island. Our first stop of the night will be Paraparaumu, followed by a scenic flight over the Cook Strait before navigating through the Malbourgh Sounds. Finally depart Nelson heading towards Omaka. Even if you have no experience you can still join us and learn a few things or two on the way and most importantly have a fun time doing what us members enjoy most. Remember this is a social flight group and we will be departing in two groups if there are too many people.
