In March 2021 Patrick had the great pleasure to be allowed otherwise closed New Zealand, a COVID-19-free island in a world badly hit by the pandemic at that time. At the time of filming the retirement of the filmed airframe, Air Chathams Convair 580 ZK-CIE, was scheduled for September the same year. Being the last purely passenger configured Convair aircraft in operation globally, this was an extremely rare and late chance to capture the legacy of Convair's plane making legacy for future generations. Enjoy a fantastic ferry flight from Auckland to Christchurch. Two hours of flight in which you'll get to know Captain Alex and F/O Daryl, two true aviators, friends and great ambassadors for Air Chathams. Learn a lot about how it is to operate Convair passenger flights and on top enjoy a lot of relaxed and funny cockpit banter.

For all filming conducted in security restricted and/ or safety relevant areas, all required approvals are obtained well before our on-site work starts. Calls to and readbacks from ATC are re-enacted based on memory and outside of the actual communication.
