Hallelua! the Bunty is back in camo... And I have a working CS Yak-3 at last! Someone surely must want to paint it with a nice red nose?

We spent many an afternoon crawling around in the gloom of that building picking our way through all that gold, at least we thought it was. Twas the 70's for me out at Bexley before it was reallocated to it now , was an old Vampire in the dump .. tried to get my old man to trailer it , but kept mention another owned it .. it was in the bloody dump /rolleyes.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :rolleyes: border= 0 alt= rolleyes.gif /> just across the road from fathers brother Uncle Hubert -...

I was to simply hire a pilot uniform , walk in ten minutes before the aircrew .. just quietly mention 'Dave' got sick .. ill take over /ninja.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :ph43r: border= 0 alt= ninja.gif /> ...... True .. have to be a 737 series 300 not the Classic tho /wink.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :wink2: border= 0 alt= wink.gif />

Seats for the blobby's and for the Norwegian racing sardines .. drivers seat look comfortable as well /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif />

Hmm don't see Chris 'Lowglow' on this day .. like the face on one off those model glider pilots /ohmy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :o border= 0 alt= ohmy.gif /> ... /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif /> ... Impressive !

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I'll be going out to have a look for sure! Let's hope for good weather! /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> Troy

I really have a like for these timelapse videos - nothing to puting it back together again ,be interesting to find out the weight without the engine in it .

I hope to be there, maybe do a little writeup for the paper. Where I live has a great view of the machine when it's coming in from the north/east.

CRIPES .. imagine a boy racer and his boom box in the sky /blink.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :blink: border= 0 alt= blink.gif />

Some info and a few pics and a vid on Mike Condon's blog following on the C-27 RAAF purchase...

You definatly have to pick your times to go flying in Wellington. The longest I had to hold was about 10mins I think. Its the same where Im flying now though. Little aerodrome that it is, you dont try and do circuits on a Sunday afternoon because the aeroclub has a bbq.... every man and his dog turn up and turn the place upside down!

QUOTE (Squawk1200 @ May 12 2012,8:51 PM) This new phone system is being installed all over the country, I believe it's already running in HN and TG tower also. yea they have had that in Tauranga for a few years now, I can remember calling that up ages ago. Its a good idea it means you can listen to the ATIS without walking out to the hanger and climbing into the plane

That looks like ridiculously good fun, cool photos Gavin. /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

Yes you are so right. I have the Mike Stone one with the Fraser McKay panel. The panel is only 2D but it is great. The external model, although great at the time, is really only up to FS2002 standard. Still I prefer a "good working office" in preference to a pretty exterior.
