Perhaps a slightly over done title, but I recently took a trip up to Rotorua and amongst the 674 photos I took over 5 days are a few aircraft.

First up, we took a break from driving north at Taupo Airport where we spotted this rather strikingly coloured PAC 750XL.

Out at the Lake Rotorua lakefront were to be found a pair of hard-working floatplanes. A Cessna U206G…

…and this unique (to New Zealand) De Havilland DHC-3 Otter.

Over at Rotorua Airport, on the other side of the lake, can be found a variety of GA aircraft such as this Eurocopter AS350 B3 Squirrel.

Aside from quite a number of ATR-72, DHC-8 and the occasional B1900D, the most impressive arrival had to be this Air New Zealand Airbus A320, which arrived from and departed to Sydney.

There are a few more shots of these and other aircraft on the photostream but they will be well spread out so you can find them in the Aviation (Other) set or, if you’re into scenery, check out the whole Rotorua set.
