Come Fly With Me!

*

Destination Queenstown

*

The Year was 1990 and my first plane trip! Well my second. My first was the previous day flying from Sydney to Christchurch, New Zealand. This was a small propeller plane from Christchurch to Queenstown and as you can see I wanted to be sure the propeller was still turning! he he It was!

I Shouldn’t Worry

The Engine is Rolls Royce!!

*

And What a View did I Spy!

*

From my Window In The Sky

*

*

Too High For Birdies Flying By!

*

*

But Clouds a Parting did Reveal

*

*

Some Mountain Peaks

*

*

And … BLUE … Surreal

*

And Inland Lakes … To my Appeal

*

Upon Descent

*

*

I saw Fields of Green

*

… But it was for the Landing Gear …

I was VERY Keen!

*

The Wheels are DOWN – a Big Relief!

And Queenstown Touchdown

I Grit My Teeth!
