Emergency services were on full alert at Wellington airport this morning after pilots of a light aircraft raised the alarm. They were having concerns with their aircraft's hydraulic system just before 6am. There were five people on board the Wellington-bound charter flight. In the end it landed safely without incident as the wheels did eventually get into landing position. The plane was an 18 seater Metroliner.
This blog started off by focussing on NZ's smaller 3rd level airlines, past and present. It has evolved to trying to present some record of NZ's domestic airline operations and some of the larger charter operators, interesting NZ international airliner movements and photos I have taken around the country.

This was actually the Lifeflight Metroliner (LFT) that had a problem and had dumped all its Hydraulic Fluid.

Have since found out it was NSS that was the problem Metro.
