Thanks for looking....C-27 is a Spartan. . I always thought these would be a great stopgap between the C-130's and C-17's we could have had. Think of them as an Andover replacement....but that's another conversation.

[ Nice to a 767 in a different uniform.

From what I've read, the KC-135Rs were on something like a farewell tour to all the places that have been visited by them. With the KC-46 Pegasus slowly taking over the tanker role, that wouldn't surprise me.

Will have some more tomorrow from Jono, just waiting for him to clear the card.

Regarding the 135's, amazing they have a combined age of 122 years, 58, and 64. Boeing really build/built good stuff.

Atlas on behalf of QANTAS big guy. Marty gets a gold star for correct spelling :lol: :lol: :clap: :cheers:

Lovely photos Charl, thanks for sharing! For those interested: both the P-40 and P-51D are for sale. Good to see the Strikemaster back in camo, it spent some time as a lime green advertising hoarding... Different Blunty - that was NZ6370/ZK-STR .

Do you mind (and a credit will be given) if I include a few of your shots on a calendar I'm working on. Please do! I'd love to see it (if I'm not too late).

Thanks for looking gents. Aharon ...as per the title ..CHC=NZCH

Thanks, Aharon, much better now.

Nice pics

You're welcome.

Couldn't really make a thread for this, so just idly: Driving north on the Hibiscus Coast, I noticed a contrail. Starting at the horizon, and growing toward me at quite a pace! Aircraft are usually letting down below 10,000ft. around there, so unusual to see. By the time I'd found a spot to pull off, he'd passed me already so I lost the horizon shot. Whipped out Flight Radar to see it was headed for CHCH, which explained the altitude... but not the route.

Haha yeah that one's been doing the rounds for a while. The 44 is good like that, it's very predictable. Wouldn't be that smooth in other types

Thanks for looking Big guy :rockon:

Remember this one CP

Ze French 'elicoptere... so sexy

.... the angle and height of the shot I think. And maybe the angle and altitude of the aircraft! Usually at RC meets this kind of flying ends with the pilot and his helper collecting bits from behind the shrubbery.
