The orange-colored tail as well as the bird look very nice.

After a very windy and shaky descent due to the winds coming from the west known as the “Roaring Fourties,” whose name comes from the latitude at which the wind is located at, we get ready for a bumpy landing.

Nice shots mate! Sounds Air is such an underrated airline, especially with some of the stunning routes they fly around New Zealand, it would be so cool to get a Sounds Air PC12 in the future :)

Only problem I had with them was the 25+ knot wind whipping from the west while crossing Cook Strait and on approach. Other than that, I highly recommend their routes and their livery!
