Backyard Plane Spotting | Auckland, New Zealand

Hey guys! It's been a while since my last video.
Covid-19, the lack of flights, airport reconstruction works and weather are some of the reasons why I haven't been back to Auckland Airport (yet).
Even though I have a new camera and I'd love to try it on some A330's and B777's - but, not yet. We first need to get this Covid over with, so the flights in and out Auckland will increase again!
So, just to let you guys know I'm still here, here's another backyard plane spotting video. Lots of variety - though often quite shaky. It's all filmed freehand, as a tripod is just impossible with all these (often small) aircraft going overhead.
One of the highlights for me was the RNZAF NH90 flying over very low - man that was awesome! Also have a look at the Robinson at 5:30. Like, what the heck was he doing!?

Good to see a new video on your channel, buddy! Some awesome catches, those helicopters have fantastic colorful liveries. Enjoyed!

[@AviationNZ]

Thanks buddy! It's still pretty boring at Auckland Airport, so just have to do with these videos in the meantime. The NH90's were sweet though - love the sight and sound of them!

Great spotting video 👍

[@AviationNZ]

Thanks! It's pretty much the best I can do at the moment. We need to get this Covid over with so air travel can go back to normal.

Why haven’t you posted in a while :(

[@AviationNZ]

Hey! For starters; Covid. There's just not that big amount of air traffic into AKL anymore. Secondly, I have a chronic back injury, which plays up every now and then. Thirdly, plane spotting at AKL isn't what it used to be - especially the views from the covered car park building are being blocked more and more by buildings & masts. And lastly, we moved house in 2019, a bit further away from AKL. So yeah, sadly, it is what it is. :/
