Nice find Tom. That's pretty cool.

ZK-JNO still isn't gone yet /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> off MRC Aviation QUOTE Jetconnect Boeing 737-300 ZK-JNO was dragged out of mothballs to fly a Christchurch-Auckland-Christchurch return this morning. This could happen again. Qantas may need the aircraft if they have "technical faults"

/drool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :drool: border= 0 alt= drool.gif /> 737s Man I love the smell of jet fuel /drool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :drool: border= 0 alt= drool.gif /> Being behind the 737, man that would be awesome. Thanks for posting. I think it's back to the Q300s and ATRs for the time being now.

Thanks for the link - I voted in this - cant remember what I voted for now but it was the usual suspects

That's a pity that it won't be coming back. Engine work at Fielding, I wonder if I could go and see it (we might be going to Fielding soon to see my great grandma) /unsure.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :unsure: border= 0 alt= unsure.gif /> The Staggerwing is a masterpiece and so are the rest of these pics that I looked at today.

The top picture was taken in Winter and the rest in Summer at it is surprising how dry it gets here in the Summer. The Nanchang guys used my car as a team vehicle for that weekend. They have a big fridge magnet and take there pick of red cars where ever they go when they dont have the red Zephyr.

Oh yes Farnborough. It's a great airshow with a great line up and I would love to go. /wub.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :wub: border= 0 alt= wub.gif /> /drool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :drool: border= 0 alt= drool.gif /> I wish...

I'm sure they've thought about it and there's a reason why not.. /dry.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= <_< border= 0 alt= dry.gif />

Hehehe - GF and I will be there Sat night/Sunday show, should be a ripper. TWO Spits gentlemen! Fingers x'd get to see Brendon's one in the wild blue a bit sooner though /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif />

I don't think there's a petition yet. I guess we could set up an internet petition, but they're useless as far as I'm concerned. Much better to actually circulate a piece of paper and get some real signatures. Although I'm not sure if much could be done if the land's already privately held now. I guess you could try and stop resource consent going through or talk to the environment council for that area.

ATR all the way. More comfortable, quiet, better range, better looking. What else. Never flown one, but flown in one. Ps, Go F27

......and heres a pic of the Columbia 350 at Wanaka in 2006 which I posted here a while ago - this was before they were taken over by Cessna

Like this lowVis grey .. just like the airliners going the Vogue 'spatta' whites

One used to overnight there before the dashs came. Every night I think from wellington, I went on it often. I remember when one tried turning round and nose wheel went off runway and got stuck. Was a bit of an issue

Never had a direct strike myself, but have flown a very hasty retreat from an over-developed thermal street over Mclarens Falls in the Lower Kaimais when it started to discharge... Frighteningly impressive, and bloody loud! Was particularly wary as it wasnt long after this lightning strike on a glider in the UK /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif /> While cruising around in wave conditions, I've seen/felt static charge building up, usually due to flying directly into wind - 90 degrees to the wave bar and just skimming through the top of the cloud (at...

hmm. Yes quite. I like the crew smoking.
