BoT in Pictures
If you've got a photo taken in the Western Bay of Plenty that you're particularly proud of, email it to us (design@bestoftauranga.com) and we'll have a look at it. If we like it, we'll put it in the gallery with a credit to you!
In spite of Sir Editor's intense dislike of heights, and our fixed-wing pilot's ingrown skepticism towards 80, 000 parts flying in a formation (aka helicopter) BoTCom took to the Western Bay skies with Aerius Helicopters and snapped these great (of course!) shots.
(And now our fixed-wing pilot wants a chopper license...)
