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.

I'm guessing it'll end up at Pima or one of those big open air museums in the US

Great shot flying over the moon :clap: :clap:

Woah !! that's some LZ !!! :) Thanks for sharing CP

They forgot that Tauranga exists though

ZK-SAE survives near Woodbourne in NZ and ZK-SAF may exist in parts still but is essentially scrapped. Both are still near Woodbourne. ZK-SAE at the Runway Cafe to the North West of Woodbourne as you said and ZK-SAF fuse and centre wing on a farm less than 100m west from the South West corner of Woodbourne airfield.

That may or may not be close by a short-listed airport...

Man of the Naki !!! Happy birthday, fella :cheers: Looking forward to those DC shots ..... :cheers:

I noticed when Qantas introduced their indigenous liveries, the tails all had the flying kangaroo clearly displayed. I can understand the ATC folk having difficulties picking the BA aircraft YEAH .... QF applied those Balarinji Studio designed Australian aboriginal artworks to just the fuelage and engine nacelles (only) of 3 of it's B747's .... a -338 VH-EBU "Nalanji Dreaming, and 2 -438's VH-OJB and VH-OEJ "Wanalla Dreaming), and later B737-838 VH-VXB "Yananyi Dreaming" too .... each as as follows .... The B747's were regular visitors to AKL during the late 1990's .... as...

I am sure it was 1988 before the Aussie Display at RAAF Richmond and may have served as a final "practice". According to this link Kiwi Red performed from 1988-1990. Some better photos here.
