Thanks "DEEKNOW" .... glad you enjoyed the presentation :) One of my (many) pet passions in regard to civil aviation .... is researching airline and airframe history (and which has also the very foundations of my civil aviation photography over the past 43 years too) .... and then using FS to represent it. I find such makes one's FS indulgence "all the more more rewarding" .... virtual though it may always be, but (in my case at least), still all based around "fact" per the re-enactment of historic R/W operations.

Talk about down the rabbit hole.... I clicked on the link when I first saw this, but my speaker battery had died. However Youtube today served up a Mix based on this song, and I haven't been able to quit it. Second song was Jefferson Airplane White Rabbit, a favourite of mine, but plenty of MoonSun, the original posted group. That woman looks so much like my step-daughter but can sing a lot better:)

Great stuff Rob, and pleased to hear that in this case it is a "batteries ARE included" sorta deal :D I've also had a decent health system experience up here in the Waikato lately, broke my femur falling off a scooter and landing badly two weeks ago, was in the Ortho ward at Waikato for 4 nights until stable enough to wobble home on crutches. The care I received was excellent, calm and swift ambulance crew, surgeons you could actually communicate with, polite and efficient nursing staff, and great support so far from ACC to get my life back on track. Sometimes our taxes are actually...

Some interesting comments, opinions, etc. I really didn't expect so many.....nice to know you are all still out there. I'm not dragging this out, I said what I said, you replied....thank you.

Merry Christmas Aharon.

it's perfectly feasible to get around in one hit "SURE" .... one can get around it all in a single day if one wishes .... no problem at all .... and also still include the side trip to next door DAVIS MONTHAM AFB too. The only reason I recommend 2 full days there is in regard to photography (which takes time) .... "exploiting seasonal position of the sun" in order to do one lot/side of the outdoor exhibits during the morning (on day 1) followed by the other lot/side the next day and both in optimum lighting conditions ..... at least that's the case there during the month...

Funnily enough, my great neighbour and brewmeister Tony-next-door wanted to know why they couldn't get some different clouds for the Remarkables. This was after days of watching the White Ferns at Queenstown, while doing the quality checks on the homebrew. I think it's called multitasking :lol:

Thanks for looking Aharon, you have good taste when it comes to seat pillows ... mine really needs a wash. Re the E-2D's ..not a C ... It's a USN airframe, photo taken on a test flight near St Augustine in Florida ..September 12th, 2009.

747 = 46.6m Well inside its own length, then! Great little nuggets of information, thanks CP.

Haha - cool !!

Mike, have you ever spotted snakes on the cam ? A couple of months after Marty asked this, I caught this wriggly thing one night. Watch the top left quarter of the screen - you need to be quick :o Link to YT:

Pacific Western airline 732 had done that many times as seen on this photo Regards, Aharon

There's a great place in Napier called Cool Toys ( ) I was in there last week, and really had to restrain myself from buying their diecast models. And the Tamiya, Revell and Airfix kits ... don't get me started :lol: They even had a 1966 Batmobile there ... very tempting, no matter what the cost.

Big D , you say a lot when you don't say much :rockon:

:D

Nope slowest is the Bayfair flyover in the Mount....taken 5 years at least so far and probably another 1 to to go to finish it

Don't you love all them wall to wall lights as you climb out of KLAX? Yup!
