Remarkable Queenstown Airport Takeoff to Auckland

[@DrBearAviation]

That is far more than remarkable. It is spectacular, from aircraft livery to mountainous view at takeoff.

[@kevinstephenson3880]

Spectacular New Zealand how I long to see you again. The country so beautiful and the locals so friendly! KI ORA!

[@fredyze]

Fantastic!Such a beautiful video highlighted how gorgeous it is flying from Queenstown to Auckland!Cheers 👍

[@javacup912]

I had that same departure flight from Queenstown, but I was sitting on the left side, so couldn't see the town. Wow I could see the Skyline lift and restaurant on this footage. I actually saw an Air New Zealand airplane doing this exact departure while I was at the Skyline. Awesome views, and great town. Can't wait to go back. Th anks for sharing.

[@natividadgarcia6607]

BEAUTIFUL VIEW, NICE PICTURES, GOOD JOB, THANKS

[@Moneytane1976]

Quality of the photography is superb, a great video of a route I hope to fly soon. It would be cool to get the same scenes in winter with the snow and long shadows!

[@steam4eva]

Great video which also brings back fond memories of my Air New Zealand flight from Queenstown to Auckland in October 2012.

[@nicholasluhman3023]

Stunning video start to finish. Not sure why I only saw it now but happy I did. Well done!

[@PorcelainKilt]

[@claudio_5109]

[@nshvle]

Flew that flight path on a return flight home to Christchurch in 2016 it circles over halfway bay and back over Queenstown, bearing northbound on exiting the flight in Christchurch I managed to personally thank the pilots for such a spectacular flight out of Queenstown.

[@AviationNZ]

Amazing video! Beautiful scenery shots! Liked! Your camera work is really superb!

[@TheSmurfboard]

thanks ! it's a beautiful country

[@AviationNZ]

TheSmurfboard Yeah, it sure is! Still have to visit Sth island tho, in all these years I've never been there. Well, I've been in Picton once, but that was as low as I've been that day.

[@roviwoteap2375]

Spectacular! Nice filming. Hope to still visit NZ one day, from Uk.

[@harrycurrie9664]

Sweet as, pretty neat ay. Kia Kaha.

[@vinodkaka5225]

Love you New Zealand Love from India 😘😚😘😙😍😍

[@88Meava88]

wauw. those snow mountains. man, thats beautiful.

[@jamesrivis620]

Totally stunning. Thanks so much for this. Wish I'd made it to NZ !

[@kurundwad1]

Amazing video! Thanks for sharing it. We just returned from NZ and had a daylight flight from Queenstown to Auckland, but were unfortunate to encounter a thick cloud cover. So we could see virtually nothing of the incredible panorama you captured. Thanks to your video, we got to see all that we missed...

[@novola1972]

Queenstown to Sydney 2017 was amazing, across the Tasman. Beautiful countries can’t wait to come back for more

[@monicahall3846]

New Zealand .. the best-kept secret in the world.

[@WayToManyAssassins]

secret??

[@alanmccaw8672]

It's no secret anymore and is a popular destination now!

[@neillsmart213]

The best shared secret may be more apt :)

[@reyesguerra1829]

Its not a secret country

[@awgkiwi]

Pfft, it's not even real.

[@JW-th4nn]

Absolutely stunning!!!

[@TonyC0101]

What an incredible video!

[@UTubeGlennAR]

:) Nice flight, thanks for letting me sit by the window. :)

[@markfortuin7111]

Gorgeous!!!

[@videosalfredoalguicas1278]

Es indescriptible la belleza Natural de brinda Nueva Zelanda...un Pais muy Hermoso

[@ianstewartaviation2634]

Awesome video planning a trip to NZ next year

[@TheTravelmagnet]

Great vid. Thanks. Its been more than 10 years since I have flown from Queenstown. Otherwise fly in and fly out from Christchurch. I should do it soon.

[@seanzappulla71]

A flight into Queenstown is quite something. I got a direct flight from Brisbane Queensland Australia to Queenstown the flight took about 3 hours and 30 minutes.

[@mcfrdmn]

Lovely video of the flight over New Zealand !

[@shoutwebdaniel]

Beautifully shot.

[@pietropaolo6188]

Bellissimo video, thanks!

[@leestockton9367]

Fabulous backdrop

[@jerrera45]

If I ever make it to heaven, I hope it looks just like New Zealand!

[@rayharkins14]

Great video

[@Andriba1]

Wow, that beautiful!

[@chrisbutcher7660]

Need a new viewing area in itb. To see the planes again

[@elwoodroadsmusic9639]

Incredible!

[@ashleymalamute]

Great video. I appreciate the absence of music. It felt like I was inboard with you :)

[@chrisbutcher7660]

If you put the you tube it would be amazing new viewing area for the public sharing the views together

[@granskare]

the livery of this jet is awesome! here American Airlines has used the same livery for all of its existence, maybe :)

[@chrisbutcher7660]

This is what you should be able to watch at the farewller hall Auckland airport

[@carlr259]

awesome scenery

[@mandipsaini89]

Beautiful

[@romeshbhattacharji2536]

A terrific treat.

[@brendaechols2228]

Simply amazing

[@chartphred1]

More of that please!

[@chrisbutcher7660]

You could watch the sports to with a big curved screen sharing the views together

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

How cool does that black livery look?

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Great video! I'm flying this very route next month and am looking forward to the views. What time of the year was this filmed and what camera did you use?

[@RayChildsAviationNZ]

omg wow amazing! subbed :)

[@RangelMv]

This is a beautiful

[@leonsam4g]

Awesome New Zealand :)

[@ajmalshahtravelling7088]

beautifully takeoff

[@carsongodbold8736]

I could not help but notice at the beginning of this film of Queen's Town Airport just before take off to Auckland a large shape object looking like a one corner of a very very large box poking through a cloud layer of the sky above the mountain range next to a very very very large almond shape cloud it struck me as very odd compare to the rest of the cloudy sky. I think it might have been a perhaps a cloaked invisible alien space craft visitor. Look at the top left hand corner of the film as the plane turns on to the runway.

[@crocodile1313]

Incredible! Some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen from an airplane video. The view at 6:41 is absolutely Heaven-like! Is that a snow covered volcano crater at 8:34 (right side of picture)? Kind of intriguing sitting out there all by itself. Thanks for the wonderful video!

[@LloydWeeber]

Not a volcano. Valley has been heavily glaciated. Morgen Hill was obviously made of tougher rock than nearby Lake Hayes

[@campower2410]

Which seat where you sitting in.

[@seanzappulla71]

Your video is fantastic. If you have a Facebook account lookup as many holiday Facebook pages and post this video and you would get a lot of views.

[@riccardo830]

Great colour scheme

[@HenryFalkner]

Well done! No Parkinsons, no flagwaving.

[@steve887]

Butter landing

[@tonymeredith1000f]

Awesome clip bro, what camera did you use ? Thanks heaps for sharing thoroughly enjoyed it

[@planespotter4696]

What seat ?

[@tenraek]

Absolutely amazing video! if I may ask, what camera did you use and what settings? I'm guessing GoPro 3+ black edition?

[@TheSmurfboard]

Hey thanks ! I use a Canon s100 pocket camera.

[@seanzappulla71]

TheSmurfboard WOW it did a really great job.

[@johnler4125]

[@seattlesaints3535]

Those black Planes gotta attract the Sun up in the Sky making them Hot as Hell ?!!

[@ElBantosClips]

Apparently there wasn't much change in the jets. From memory only the dash-8's or the Beech 1900's did get affected. I may be wrong, but I remember something about the little planes getting hot

[@tirdadgharachorloo4812]

Lovely Nation, I thought i saw a dwarf

[@katerinakemp5701]

Could be Gimli trying to catchup to the others🤣

[@renatomeloribeiro524]

que lugar lindo e esse ?

[@bennypettersen4796]

what stabilization program did you use?

[@TheSmurfboard]

adobe after effects

[@xavierng1771]

Amazing! How did you make your footage so stable?

[@TheBoyChur]

probably after effects or some image stabilization software

[@TheSmurfboard]

correct

[@JordanElliott11065]

Is the aircraft powered by two IAE V2527-A5 engines?

[@AUmarcus]

Yes......all a320's in this part of the world use them......Jetstar included.

[@neildenney7609]

Great video! I understand that pilots need special accreditation to fly to Q/town

[@geofflye4582]

Yes they do .

[@geofflye4582]

When they come into land from the north through the mountain pass the planes fly in a straight line for less than 2 mins and all the ANZ planes are in auto pilot mode now have been since the airbus A320's were bought by ANZ.

[@coover65]

My family's hometown. You get just a smooth video sticking a cellphone to the window with blutack (tried and tested).

[@joelt4416]

minute 4:40 and flaps are still not retracted! WOW!

[@TheSmurfboard]

The pilot was trying to reach a cruise level in the minimum amount of airspace possible by executing a series of corkscrew turns. I have no idea why, but I hope the real reason was yolo !

[@Ericbryanmr]

when was this video taken please?

[@TheSmurfboard]

this was last december

[@melamielowe5970]

is this a island

[@katerinakemp5701]

Yep the South Island of NZ.

[@elizabethsamuel5282]

Was there in may 2018

[@ronpringle6229]

I being kiwi , I love my country....

[@paulp4243]

`I'll try this in Flight Sim 2020 to see how it looks.

[@yarpos]

they just showed you how it looks in real reality

[@marcy3127]

And that's why it's known as Godzone.

[@nicholasjohnson6724]

NZ, Dave Dobbyn, Greg Murphy, Neil Finn, Etc

[@SimplySpace]

Better than old zealand

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

I've sat in the cockpit of that plane! I saw it at the open day for Wellington Airport's new International Terminal. Here is a link to all of my Aircraft Photos on Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/105055766@N08/10220476525/in/set-72157636453154505/
