A New Zealand Air Force Hercules visited Mount Cook Airport yesterday to practice some training manoeuvres including a touch and go landing, this involves the aircraft approaching the runway, touching its wheels and then taking off again. This was part of a larger training exercise being carried out in the Mackenzie region by the armed forces as training before deployment to Afganistan. The Hercules was a great sight to see flying low over the riverbeds and blended into the background surprisingly well, as you can see from the picture above.
