Looking Back on 2012.

[Gavin Conroy]

The year is rapidly coming to an end, and will be having a break from the computer over the christmas season but just wanted to thank everyone who has helped with the flying this year. That includes engineers, admin people, pilots, owners and operators etc.
So many amazing opportunities have been offered to me this year, all of which I am very greatful for.
Have flown with around 30 different aircraft during 40 flights so a good year and have done some things I would never have dreamt possible just a few years ago.
Couple of rough patches here and there so have crossed a couple of people off my christmas card list but hey thats life as dissapointing as it is.
Here are a few of my favourite photos from this year. Have hundreds more I could post but wont.
As the festive season is almost here I wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas.

Cheers Gavin.

That is a stunning set of photos Gavin, what a wonderful year we have had in New Zealand aviation, and you have had in photography. When you have a good year, we all do, thanks to your generous sharing of these beautiful images. I have enjoyed every one of oyur posts through the year, as ever. Have a great Chistmas break, and a relaxing festive season.

I was going to say exactly the same thing about the calendar style pics, and the Anson keeps drawing my eye every time! Thanks for sharing, and I found your Youtube vids as well!!

Great photos Gavin as you always seem to do with so many different types of aircraft. Wow look at the rudder input on the Avenger!!

More fantastic pictures Gavin, makes me homesick looking at them!
I hope you don't mind but I've stolen the hunter pic for my home screen on my iPad :-)
