Wow... just the thought of that brings back some fond memories of flying in with Air Charter back in the day.... driving down to the Taupo Airport, flying in from Taupo for just over $130 each... some very cool trips.
I flew in with both Christine & Arthur but more times with Christine is a top pilot. Sadly Arthur passed away from cancer a few years ago.
I remember seeing a Facebook page of Air Charter Taupo, it has all sorts of amazing photos of Air Charter building and maintaining the airstrips, flying people in an out. If they printed a book I'd buy it!
Sadly today there's no one offering fixed fly in trips unless you know someone who has an aviation license but I'm not sure what the CCA rules are for landing on a bush airstrip.
The only way to commercially get in there is with Helisika or East Kaweka Helicopters.
