His mate was as impressive, I thought he'd just shake the baggage cart out into the hold.... What I loved about all this: The cone is there to demarcate the safety zone for the handlers to work in. But only while actually handling the bags. Before the cart arrived, The Dude plonked the cone down and leaned happily into the intake, out of the wind. When his mates arrived, they carefully...

Man, you have it all, 5D mk2, 7D, 550D /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif /> Ive only got one 550D haha. (well i shouldn't say 'only', its a pretty good camera!" . Lucky man! I'm stuck with a 350d /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> . those 5d mkII's are brilliant, I've got a couple of mate's with them. The 24-105mm lens is nice and sharp as well /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :)...

Yes, the Hunter is on gate duty at one of the gates off the main north-south highway. Shame that with all the new construction, that I could not get any closer shots, very difficult to get access around the airport now. It seems like they have big plans for Muscat airport, with a large new terminal equipped for A380s and a new second runway as well. Here are a couple of shots from Dubai as well, I think that the first shot is a Fedex Cargo MD11 smooth landings.

looks like those remote control aircraft you can get with the two blades like that /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> cool photo

The S12 Pitts was awesome /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> I'm getting worried... I have always been interested in homebuilt + aerobatic machines but last weekends trip has me loving the WW1 stuff. I feel so old!!! As for who is who... The older of the two is Paul Marshall, President of the NZ Aerobatics Club and owner of Pitts S1-S ZX-WIZ. He was presented the trophy by Stuart Langley,...

QUOTE (Ian Warren @ Jan 20 2011, 12:37 PM) Matter of interest , how long did it take to fill the bucket and was it only one pass Less Than 10-15 sec's to fill the bucket & yep one pass only Then back for a refill.

Nice photos, always good to see rural airfields like this having busy days. /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> Raglan is a great airfield for the general public to visit too since it's so close to the town centre.

QUOTE (mfraser @ Jan 11 2011, 09:38 AM) I've controlled the aircraft on a number of occasions as its criss-crossed the ditch...... its callsign......... 'Snowbird' /rolleyes.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :rolleyes: border= 0 alt= rolleyes.gif /> MF....do the Lc's still use the "skier" callsign?

Connor....its called situational awareness.....come on man, switch on......that cub arrived in NZ the year i was born (1957)...treat it well /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif />

May be of interest? Two ship visiting PAC 2009 Video that goes with these photo's the camera Cr*pped it self every time the soldiers went to Rappel hence focus issues.

Recall the TV series 'Skippy' 1970/71 , the type appeared many times and one with floats , one episode the pilot got sick and the son off the park ranger took over the flying , he would have be my age , oh TV aye , nice footage Ham .

That,s a big well done /cool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= B-) border= 0 alt= cool.gif />

QUOTE (Splitpin @ Jan 5 2011, 09:34 PM) The good old days....any of you remember seeing the USS Pintado (SSN-672) back in 78....amazing thing, and another one came in 79, but i cant remember its name......Ian? I very sure it was the USS Sturgeon (SSN637) the lead boat , same class as 'Pintado' , visits also include surface warships , USS Truxtun and California or Virginia Class CGN

QUOTE (connor @ Jan 5 2011, 05:11 PM) Why do the C-5's only come in when its daylight? I it because there only equipped for VFR? /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> It was definitely not a 737-300, so are the cargo '37's the 200 model? Yep, the last -219. A 737-219C/ADV ZK-NQC. Does overnight freight from AKL to CHC.
