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 .

Moo Moo Move said the pilot to the cow , dang lucky , Rick my younger bro hit a horse out on the Old West Coast Rd a few years back - munted the Nissian 4x4 , least the pilot had the option to go up .

QUOTE (Dash8captain @ Nov 21 2013,9:48 PM) Its a great book, havn't bought it yet but Page & Blackmore Booksellers in Nelson already have it on the shelf and I had a flick through it Nice. Let us know if you do buy it, be interested to hear what you think of it. Looks pretty decent.

Cracker doco's and one hell of a move /cool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= B-) border= 0 alt= cool.gif /> , tell ya one thing - having 1 .5 brownings pointed at you would be a scary thought little lone 6 off them and especially since in the 109 you practically sit on the gas tank .

Only place to go , ... Just a damn shame - New Zealand starting point in this field and its historical reference to New Zealand aviation and training - Wigram was close due to near sighted dipsticks only out for a buck , close to the city for pilot training - helicopters and the lots , a venue for flight and for shows .....

Strangely again i wonder how many flights actually run fully loaded aircraft from New Zealand - many times i found the aircraft empty but then and again as i said ... as long as i have the window seat i am happy ... people say you cannot see anything at night and to that i say BULLOCKS! , old days they did measure peoples weight , maybe that is what they should be doing again .

A very dramatic landing shot, just shows you how strong those winds gusts do get , obviously those ATRs hang in and around tornado alley.

Cripes .. those are Great , I have a problem trying to keep an aircraft in the frame , fella must have one hell of a camera ! .. Low , everyone would love to that vantage point or rock he was standing on.

Someone my size it wont matter and as long and always get the window seat , this 'Varies' is a little worrying tho - put two fat ladies maybe reduce my seat size ? /ohmy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :o border= 0 alt= ohmy.gif />

QUOTE (emfrat @ Nov 8 2013,10:46 PM) Six hours in a 767 ? That would be a breach of the Geneva or Hague Conventions, on "cruel and unusual punishments." YBBN - YSSY is bad enough... /blink.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :blink: border= 0 alt= blink.gif /> Try NZ99 in 33E ..... KILLER /wacko.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :wacko: border= 0 alt= wacko.gif />

Nice view.

QUOTE (HamiltonWest @ Oct 24 2013,10:38 AM) Shift Manager, Senior Sergeant Steve Ambler said the pilot had to make an emergency landing and as he did so he crashed into another light aircraft parked to the side of the airstrip. Mr Ambler said the Cessna was only metres off the ground and seconds into the take-off when the crash happened. Ok so its expensive chocks then lol.

Thanks for that link.That would have to be the longest flight out of Queenstown although I suspect the Gulfstream could fly further again.Ian.

Just been posted on the TV3 news all fine but for broken helicopters .

it's been in maintenance and they were checking some of the nav gear.

Wow! One of the best cockpit videos I've ever seen, at the 2:50 mark was incredible dropping down into the cloud. Thanks for posting! /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif /> Troy

Awesome, really cool to have one of these in the country! /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif />

QUOTE (chopper_nut @ Oct 19 2013,10:25 AM) However this only extends to reputable airlines where you know what qualifications the crew hold. Well that's true ... SILK airlines a few years back , aircrew arguing how they are going to land - having a b1tch fight .. come into land doing twice the speed , that was caught on airport cameras and went off the end of the runway destroying the 737 ... fortunately it killed that crew !
