B1900. Impossible in Kaikoura NZ?

[Joe Rodriguez]

After crashing over six times while trying to land the Beech 1900 @ NZKI, I decided to explore a bit. Check out what I found:

RWY 05

That's why I always end up playing monkey. So, unless we hire a team of lumberjacks, it will be impossible to land this plane here.

Who can prove me wrong?

So finally, someone proved me wrong. Whether he is very modest, or he's rushing to some far far away place like Italy or so, he didn't have a chance to post it here. Whatever. I've been told that although hard, it's possible to land the Beech 1900 on the tiny runway at Kaikoura (NZKI). Even over all those trees on both the head and feet of the runway. I'll be trying it when I finish my ribbon flight around NZ. Should anyone else dare to try, I would like to know.

Oh well! Forget the b1900. What about a Twin Otter? Challenging anyways. Here are some pics.
