QUOTE (d3fai13r @ Feb 25 2010, 05:32 PM) Quite strange case... ive been there few times, no problem(actually was even taking photos when Governor-General was boarding, two weeks ago). But certainly have often communication with AvSec and police in AKL. But the complaint from pilot... in New Zealand, something new for me, cuz i have same case in Ukraine in Kyiv Boryspil, and a pilot from Donbassaero(or as they called in UA-Soviet Style Aero) complained on me, telling ground to check me(but the only difference, that i was on the tree /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D...

I thought that might be the case.....tell you what Ian, the wind was coming from all over, but they stayed together all the way down to the grass.....

QUOTE (Efliernz @ Feb 15 2010, 09:58 AM) The jet is from a cruise missile!!! Full throttle will give an estimated 9 minute run. Careful/cruise throttle use will give 30 minutes. The rotary engine he used was a 13B twin turbo with the contra-rotating prop. You could here him flying 10 km away!!! It produced somewhere near 550Hp and it wasn't possible to hold the nose down at full throttle... The BD5 in the background has a 90hp (ish) snow-mobile motor. I don't know what brand. Efliernz, great gallery.....i couldn't get up to the show, but your pics...

The Blue Max .. The Red Baron , the Albatross , fasanation , closing on to WW1 100 years , this is one airshow 2014 i'm going to live for . .. Gavin , superb Photos !

QUOTE (dask77 @ Feb 11 2010, 11:29 AM) what do u mean norfolk air look like a new zealand plane The well known Norfolk Pine resembles the Kiwi Fern /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif /> Its the creative mind at work /rolleyes.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :rolleyes: border= 0 alt= rolleyes.gif />

LOL , i kinda like these shorter versions ,like the geebee aye ,to me they look meaner and faster /plane.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :plane: border= 0 alt= plane.gif />

and well done to all for spotting the (NON) deliberate mistake of the day. Perhaps if I used my eyes then I would have seen it too. Full marks to all the observsant. Must try harder next time...... smooth landings (777 or A330)

Years back doing the YSSY airport tour , one pilot mentioned this plane ' the otter' is so slow it fly,s backwards faster /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif />

Frankly its an unsound rumor , your right VAC .. keep em flying and it will last longer .

Very nice, wish I was there!

I always thought the Island was called Cueji , ' 'George Speight' pride of the Pacific '
