Next stop: Martins Bay.
The Martins Bay airstrip is located very close to the Hollyford River and where it flows into the bay itself. The surrounding area is uninhabited and is typically accessed by tramping along the Hollyford Track. Tramping (another word for backpacking) is a popular activity in New Zealand. But you have an airplane, and there’s a perfectly usable strip to land at. Might as well use it!
Just don’t run into the mountain off the end of the runway, mmkay? You still have a vacation to take!
Note: This achievement was created in celebration of the Microsoft Flight Simulator World Update XII - New Zealand release, but you may complete the flight in any simulator of your choice!
