Was in Queenstown for the day on business, some obligatory photography was done in the downtime, here are the aviation related ones...
I went up the Skyline cablecar to find the Helicopter Line craft HMB deliverying some people up there, they did a nice pass in front of the viewing deck.
Qantas was really hurring passengers onto this aircraft returning to Christchurch and on to Auckland, they seemed to be somewhat concerned to get moving before "the weather closes in".
Meanwhile my ride was late arriving back, not that I mind because the QT terminal is great for watching the comings and goings.
At this point I was going to insert a photo of a seriously attractive lady ground staffer ushering the passengers off the aircraft, unfortunately it was crappily out of focus, you'll just have to make do with the burly blokes unloading the baggage
It'd been just *wanting* to rain all day, but never quite got there. Naturally, when I booked the flights for the trip I ensured to pick good seats, always more interesting if you can see the prop in my opinion.
Departing QN.
Overhead QN.
Getting a decent prop blur is very difficult, especially in the very bright white cloud (of which as you can see there was lots), reducing the shutter speed further than this just wound up overexposing.
