thats cool. I wonder what will happen to Origin's fleet? sell them to the prime minister so she doesnt have to speed to rugby games in her car?

Thanks Brock! Next question, are there any ZK- gliders around for the sim? :P

why not just buy the iceberg? You gotta love those guys who make the funny auctions on trademe! I remember the last one they had was the broken SKY TV satellite... some very funny questions and answers there. This one also has it's fair share, defiantly worth a read :lol:

I agree with Trolly, that second shot in the second series is amazing. Thank guys, It was taken at about 7am, The sun had just come up over the Kaimai Ranges, and there was a light mist over the surface...It was a stunning morning! :D But so damn cold!! lol

Great pics Naki! It sure looks like a very busy event down there in Wanaka, and I would love to go one year. I think it is particually neat how they have commerical aircraft there along with the private ones (ANZ and Vincent Air in the background). That's something you don't see at the NZAR shows now is it! Speaking of this- does anyone know when the next Ardmore display is planned for?

As far as I can see, its just to buy into the syndicate... Wouldnt mind having that rating my license tho :P

Lol thats fine Trolly. I'm going flying tomorrow (wing drop stalls!), so if I survive I'll post my experiences again!

I couldn't figure out how to fly the thing... :unsure: OH THE HUMANITY!!! i dunno about airships. too weather dependent i think.

Wow, great work Zac, looking really good. :D Alex

Not surprising really with the delays and then the corruption with top executives helping themselves to millions,still a pity nonetheless,must have been quite something for a company like FedEx to go with Airbus over Boeing, I suppose to have some of each is prudent in case one type gets grounded for one reason or another.

It was practising for a fireworks display... Who was it that said fireworks are not dangerous? Fireworks can lead to crashes, said so on the news. Ya it voz shot down by ze rocket ve fired :bow:

I remember my CAA medical do they still get ya to run on a treadmill? Not when I did it. ;)

  Heck Jimmy, 76's near live on that rwy, fun 9 months back 777 , control in a panic , NO! -no probs , C17 .. that could land on Westpacs heilpad biggrin.gif and reverse to make room for ya 76, Herc was RAAF , the 76 @ 1500 but missed the Globe'y was out there checkin the mess they have created with the 3storie carpark , oh really!kool, I never seen a 76 on app to 29 before, I always haveing a good look out when 29 is active.(next time ill go sit outside all day! lol) yeah I knw what the c17 can do I was just saying how neat it is to watch it fly over :P btw I saw the...

One additional famous appearance of a pack occurred on the opening of the summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984. The pack was piloted by both Bill Suitor and Gordon Yaeger. Suitor, a legendary personality (in all calculation more than 1200 flights â€￾ more than in any other pilot to this day). Bill took off from platforms, flew above many spectators, who from the unexpected contingency covered their heads with their hands, and landed opposite the presidential platform, where sat Ronald Reagan. This flight was seen by 100,000 spectators on the platforms and about 2.5 billion television...

What a find Mike! Absolutely brilliant, can you imagine the stress level as the seconds counted down...I had sweaty palms just watching it. I imagine the dude with the headband committed seppuku immediately after filming... And wasn't it great that the Yank didn't just fly by and do it with the rotor tip? Big sport.

Maybe towerguy will give us a chance? He actually has offered. Check out the Aero Club forums for more info...

I will be based in Palmeston North, hopefully returning to Auckland once my course is done... ;)

We flared, and the runway seemed far wider than Nelson (it probably is though). so NSN won't get the A380 then :P great story. i haven't been in a cockpit since i was about 8 or 9. no doubt they're impossible to get into these days with all the hijacking fears (at least the jets i usually fly on). Nah, I reckon Nelson'll have to stick with the Dash for the meantime. I think I was allowed only in the cockpit because the copilot knewmy instructor... the hostess said otherwise it would've been only a quick visit. I really was amazed at how high-tech the Dash-8 was. Glass...
