Landing at Milford Sound Airport, New Zealand

  • As a PPL from the US visiting NZ, I HAD to fly somewhere in NZ. What better than to save a 4 hr drive and fly to Milford Sound! I did a dual 'lesson' flight with Ash, an instructor for Learn To Fly New Zealand out of Wanaka. He took care of the radios because, frankly, I couldn't understand what anyone was saying on the radio nor had any idea what the reporting points were.
    They were very accommodating, Ash the instructor was great, and Julie in their office was VERY helpful. www.learntoflynz.com/

    What a chilled out instructor!!! So cool! When I visited Milford in 2010, the lady doing the commentary on the bridge of the cruise boat, ask me how far away I thought a particular mountain was. I seriously replied "oh about a kilometre". She politely replied "Try eight!" For those of you who have been there, you will understand.

Good times.

The deaths in 2020 arexLESS than 2019, so it is just a globalist scam to gain control and vaccinate. They just relabeled deathsxfrom other causes. Take vitamin D-3, zinc and C, as that will protect you. Those that get sick can take Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, which have nearly 100% success rate.

It is all about promoting Big Pharma and gaining globalist control. Check out "little Hitler" Klaus Schwab and his Great Reset and the WEF. People got played - the average age of death was 80, with 2.4 co-morbidities. If this was so lethal, why did the homeless not succumb, or those in jails? It was a complete scam, planned ahead by Gates, the CCP folks (who let the damn thing out of the lab, after trying to engineer it to be more lethal), the Rockefeller Foundation, St Fauci, and other NWO pukes. The masks cause more respiratory infections, and do not stop any virus from traveling. Our DNA is 45% viruses, so they surround us always. The best way we can fight them is with a good immune system, not hiding in a basement with a muzzle on. The tyrants will just keep trying to drag these power moves out over and over - for climate change nonsense, another virus, or any excuse they want to confiscate ate assets and transfer them into the hands of a few elites.
