Known as the Land of the Long White Cloud, if you fly into NZ you could well encounter this scenario

Did he stop before the end of the runway.
He seemed to be approaching it a bit fast? :shock:

I've flown into Queenstown several times - always glad to have my feet on the ground on arrival. Always a bit scary if one doesn't like flying. The beauty of the scenery tends to make one forget about the nerves. Thanks for sharing that - quite amazing and very interesting. :-) ;-)
