TOOT - My Helicopter Flight Over Franz Josef Glacier New Zealand - Video

in travel •  8 years ago 

This part 3 of my New Zealand Trains 🚂 and Planes ✈️ Holiday videos.

In 10 days we traveled on 3 trains , the Trans Alpine , The Kingston Flyer and the Taieri Gorge railway, cruised across Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak Sheep Station onboard the TSS Earnslaw, enjoyed the Warbirds Over Wanaka air show and we flew in a helicopter to the top of a mountain above Franz Josef Glacier.

I have flown in many helicopters but it was my families first flight and it was a special experience. We were blessed with a crystal clear blue sky and the landing on the top of the mountain overlooking the Franz Josef Glacier and the view of the snow capped mountains was breathtaking.

We flew with Glacier Heliventures in their McDonnell-Douglas 520N helicopter (ZK-HFJ )

Thanks. I'm not very good at editing the videos but the flight was so cool I had to share it.

Nice! Might want to enable embeds - the video doesn't work here on Steemit.

Oops thanks for letting me know. Must have accidentally untucked that box. Let me know if it will play for you now.

Can't see the video :(

You should be able to see the video now.
