As dramatic as it sounds, this is actually an unfortunate case of mis-translation. He was riding in the wing of the aircraft (more specifically, in the undercarriage bay as the article goes on to mention) but the opening few lines make it sound like he was riding on the wing of the plane which would be quite an impressive achievement indeed! /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif />

A follow on media release will be forthcoming within the next 2 weeks to showcase the AVRO RJ-100 (ARJ) to the media. As the Tui billboards say.. Yeah Right! I bet $10 that it never happens /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> And did it ever happen? Whoever doubted me owes me money now /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif />

lol was funny because they made some lame a$$ exscuse as to why they grounded there flights saying it was due to the eruption of Ruapehu even though they had released the report on the landing gear problems. SQ350

so how can that be inside the Auckland hanger?? hahahaha Maybe it stands for something different- maybe Auckland Maintainence Service or something simular..

I agree. The aircraft look different without them. It makes them look less fat to me.

Thats why your pre landing checks, Brakes - Park brake off, equal and even pressure on toe brakes!!

Because of the vast distance that they had to fly in the end they did use helicopters but the mission was scrubbed after several crashed. Planned as Operation Rice Bowl, the operation was designed as a complex two-night mission.

Thanks so much for posting- I was just flying a Caribou around the West Coast in my sim the other day and it was brilliant to see it for real.

Thanks Naki, I've sent him that link, along with some more NZ Warbirds Association links to try.
