KZfaq's "ANGLE OF ATTACK" creator Chris Palmer came for a scenic fight into Milford Sound while on his family holiday to New Zealand.
Milford is a must do for any GA pilot and when done correctly on a nice day it is very straight forward. Thanks to Sue Kronfeld for the briefing and AOPA NZ for the great KZfaq tutorial video on landing at Milford.
Thanks Chris for coming along for the ride!

Kia Ora, i used to live and work in Whangarei for 5 years. Ended up in Twizel once 😅 Appreciate the video, I also remember Milford was so isolated that they didn't store or sell LPG, ki kite ano from 🇺🇸

Hi Kynan Found your channel, probably because I am a big fan of Chris Palmer and Angle of Attack. So nostalgic after watching it as I used to live in the South Island and fly GA aircraft (now in Australia and sadly no flying to speak of ... may be able to get back into the sky "one day"). Anyway, I am always keen to know about KZfaqrs that I follow. What is your "story", background, job etc? Thanks

Hi Mate, thanks for watching! I have gone the other way and left Aus for NZ… so much nicer for flying here. I will aim to do a video soon about me…. Been putting it off for a while as I’m just not a big fan of taking to a camera yet, feels so awkward!! But very briefly, learned to fly at 18 to do CPL but didn’t finish, had a big gap of about 25 years and then decided to get back into it in NZ. Cheers

Brilliant video. One of the best flying experiences you can have in NZ imo, should be a rite of passage for any kiwi pilot!

Great Video. The one and only time I flew in was in 1962 in ZK-BCP Dominie of Brian Chadwicks Air Charter. Entry to Milford was about 150 feet close to the northern side from the sea. None of this 3,000 feet on the south side! Then o/head the untarmaced stoney strip to do a 180 by the Arthur River to land on 29. Park near the hotel. Escape from the strip in a strong northerly crosswind, take off on 29, up to Harrison Cove do a very tight 180, back to Arthur River (same line you took). Lake Ada up to Lake Quill and Sutherland Falls. (I note your very quick second of the Falls. Other Dominie’s like Brian Waugh did a quick circuit round Lake Quill in this days - can you believe it!) I would be very interested to know the exact route you took from Sutherland falls, was it Clinton to Eglinton? Or did you go further South to come up the Von River to Wakatipu? My video of our 1962 trip had quite a gap after Quill but we must have crossed a saddle near Eglinton. Chadwick (and his pax including me) hit a severe downdraft and with a NNW wind, he was not expecting it. I am sure you have got a lot more video from your trip. Briefing to Milford? Who from? Air Safaris? There was a bit of cloud in the top south side of the Sound. On our trip, it was thick just to the east of the airstrip, hence going up the Arthur River. Again, one of your best, but do expand it - please. My posting was from the scanned 8mm. No way as clear as modern cameras, but it was precious film, and the only film of Air Charters before he and his pax disappeared on 12th Feb 1962. They are still looking for them! ZK-AFB

Thanks for the info Robin on your flight in to Milford. yeah did have about 2hrs of footage but try to keep the videos to about 10min as people generally loose interest if too long. I did a phone briefing with Sue Kronfeld. I vacated to the south via Mikinnon pass and out to lake Te Anau and then east to Garston and then back north via Nevis valley to Cromwell. Thanks for watching!

It must have been near Mavora we hit the downdraft. Sue Kronfeld I suppose is the AOPA president. Thanks from Essex UK

When being in Milford, one feels so utterly insignificant. It is an incredible place where words can not explain just how amazing it is. Out of interest, what do you do for a living? Your photography is really impressive. 10/10. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Gerard, thanks! it’s is absolutely amazing flying into Milford and cameras never do it justice. Sorry, can’t take full credit for the video clips, Chris Palmer took the b roll and clips of the other aircraft landing at Milford while we were on the ground. I have a lot to learn! I work in the motorsports industry at Highlands Motorsport Park in Cromwell and just fly for fun. Cheers

Glad I came across this video on my KZfaq feed late at night when I wasn’t sleeping lol, this awsome bro.Love the C206 also.Having done some flying when younger I’ve now got a good home based flight simulator set up based with MSFS 2020 that you’ve inspired me to fly my Osobo/Carenado Cessna T207A Stationair 8 II into & out of NZMF in the sim ( I’ve got NZA Simulations Milford Sound scenery so even that looks good ).Greetings as a fellow kiwi from Fielding NZ!

Actually quite easy to work out with Google Earth. Lovely clear shots of Tititia and Rainbow valley. Pity after take off at Milford the spectacular reverse at Harrison Cove. As for Lake Quill and Sutherland Falls. My computers screen saver has the shot from inside that lake looking at the outflow. Some of the most spectacular country in the world. At one stage, Milford was going to be closed to fixed wing traffic, may be it still will. Hope not.
