Ruapuna Raceway - Spotting Location (with Pics)

[nzom_pilot]

Should anyone get to CHC then the Ruapuna racetrack is a great spotting location (when its open) Ruapuna offers excellent shots of all jets and most turboprops on finals for runway 02. They come in right overhead the track and the pit area.

 

I was down there the weekend before last photographing my brother in law racing in the Canterbury Car club trials

 

 

And this is some of the action overhead, which is far more exciting

 

Air New Zealand's Japan flights arriving:

 

Boeing 767 ZK-NCL

 

 

Boeing 777 ZK-OKC

 

 

And a couple of International visitors:

 

Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 9V-SVG

 

 

Emirates Boeing 777 A6-EBI
