I could live their very comfortable, I may have to put my Convair nose job on hold /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif />

Brilliant piece of work, both the art and the flying and to think after that excitement he was to become a mild mannered accountant .. what a change in job direction ! /rolleyes.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :rolleyes: border= 0 alt= rolleyes.gif />

Bugger me .. broke my home-built /ohmy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :o border= 0 alt= ohmy.gif /> , Its a pity, real world effort coming to an end.

QUOTE (HamiltonWest @ Jan 4 2014,11:22 AM) Test Pilot - Martin Aircraft We seek an experienced pilot who has a flying instructor qualification and experience in the aircraft test flight environment. Previous display flying experience is desirable and familiarity with international operations an advantage. I might get the job as a crash test dummy ? /unsure.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :unsure: border= 0 alt= unsure.gif /> .... im expert in that ! /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> ..

QUOTE (Ian Warren @ Jan 4 2014,10:36 AM) Maybe they should have started from the Chatham Islands /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif />

QUOTE I do hope someone doesn't ever switch off the GPS satellites Don't laugh, there are 5 satellites that are currently at "critical" status i.e. they are 1 failure away from dying and 1 replacement satellite was recently lost in an unsuccessful launch. If they need to move a satellite to cover a failure in all likely hood they will pinch one from a quiet part of the world like the South West Pacific. There are already big RAIM holes over South Australia.

I've flown to NZ on that one! /ohmy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :o border= 0 alt= ohmy.gif /> Glad everyone landed safely.

QUOTE (nzav8tor @ Dec 22 2013,3:39 AM) Joe Blogs turns up in his homebuilt something or other and barnstorms his way through the display without the necessary experience or training. Sure he gets away with it, most of the time, but is this really the most prudent approach? Nothing to do with OSH and politics, it's common sense. Your quite right , even the pro's get caught out Wanaka is an example , our Sir Tim Wallis , the passed famed names Mark Hanna , Tom Middleton , .... so i guess its best to shut Joe Blogs Down before he go's Up , sound like your father is a wise...

Had his name been Gunnery Sgt Tom Highway AKA (Clint Eastwood) /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> .. he'd still be in the force for another ten years , forced retirement /rolleyes.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :rolleyes: border= 0 alt= rolleyes.gif />

QUOTE (zk2704 @ Dec 13 2013,12:29 PM) This was all which I know about the history of Aviation at Auckland Phooey , better than reading a newspaper or watching PMs on the TV news ... that last sentence tho , sorted reminded me of a bus stop bench , fella's name was "Forest Gump' /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> Well that about cover,s the Auckland history /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

QUOTE (HamiltonWest @ Dec 10 2013,3:56 PM) City airport to become military hub Good to see , was a hub back the 1950/1960s guess Invercargill had better wind up its ramp options

QUOTE (Intrance @ Dec 3 2013,7:38 AM) I'm trying to build myself a proper overview of the routes flown by Air New Zealand Link (and Air New Zealand, but that's for later). They're all in the following PDF mate, both national and international legs, go for gold /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

I'm all for that , after looking at Trolly's photo's of a few weeks back .. we could do with some colour in Christchurch s skies .

QUOTE (Charl @ Nov 25 2013,2:17 PM) (Thankfully, our 787's are Trent 1000 powered.) The GEnx engine has an icing problem, and JAL has grounded its 787 longhaulers: "Boeing on Friday issued a notice prohibiting the affected aircraft from flying at high attitude within 50 nautical miles of thunderstorms that may contain ice crystals." Interesting link Mr chrome cannon , those impressive beasts .
