[AlaskaRC] Fwd: Landing in New Zealand

[Ira Hemphill]

That's an easy approach, try a moderately breezy day here in Wellington:

The guy that tried the first 3 approaches then gave up must have been from
Auckland...

May have been around before.

The cloud is no big deal for an IFR approach, it's the obstacles they're
flying around you can't see...

Known as the land of the long white cloud, if you fly into New Zealand you
could well encounter this scenario.  Hold on to your seat.  This is
spectacular.  I often have wondered why the airline industry doesn't have a
live video feed from the aircraft's nose streamed into the cabin in order to
amuse and bedazzle their weary travelers.  This is the descent into
Queenstown, New Zealand.  Notice the mountain range he is flying toward. 

It must take great faith in your instruments to pilot an approach like this,
but the rush must be amazing.
