Chunder landing at Wellington airport

THIS really is not what you need when you've just arrived in the country, but landing at Wellington airport, while often breathtaking for the views, can also be breathtaking for the maneuvering.

And yet as the airport's website says, "Few cities in the world can boast an airport location as convenient as that enjoyed by Wellington. It is only minutes to the centre of the capital and accessible either via a scenic coastal drive, or directly through the Mount Victoria tunnel."
