I'm Polish (but born in the UK), so I found this bit of news another tragedy to add to Poland's litany of tragedies. Someone did point out that putting pretty well the whole of the government on one aircraft wasn't exactly a great idea. The irony is that they were going to the 70th anniversary of the Katyn forest massacre - so long denied by the Russians.

WOW....Bigbird, your a man of many talents /notworthy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :bow: border= 0 alt= notworthy.gif /> .........your weathering is amazing. Those cockpits could have been done a lot better....but great kits to build. Would be nice to see some WW2 stuff like them ....1/12th scale. Thanks for the pics /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif />

Groovy little machine - but just a little too intimate as a two seater !!

Ha very nice!, Give it some stripes and it good be a bumble bee too!

This is one of my favourite - especially for my 4 year old son... I also have this scheme on my L-39..now to find some FSX explosions..... Holy cow /ohmy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :o border= 0 alt= ohmy.gif /> .......i agree with your son....awesome shot

QUOTE (BigBird @ Mar 25 2010, 06:51 PM) Cheers guys, /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif /> I have done a fair bit of research over the past couple of days. Turns out the incident happened just over 2 1/2 years ago (I knew it wasn't 5 years) and I have since found out the guy had some additional modifications and cosmetic work done. That was never part of the deal and certainly not required as part of the repair. With his refusal to supply me with a breakdown, I decided to call around a few shops that do this type of repair work...

QUOTE Ignore the fence - just hack a hole through it or something, then feel free to wander around and take what ever pics you want - when arrested - your defence is that you did not know that it was wrong as you were taking photos for the good of your fellow flightsimmers. Yep, hell why not!! If it’s good enough to break into private property, cause millions of dollars worth of damage /ninja.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :ph43r: border= 0 alt= ninja.gif /> plus get away with it and given that the good old tax payer has nothing better to send it's money on I guess no...

Its an awesome shot, apparently from a well know spot along that fence next to runway 36L at Amsterdam - Schiphol (AMS / EHAM) (Netherlands). The fence is not at the end of the runway at all although it looks it. The fence is actually to the side, but angled and there is plenty of runway left. QUOTE (Peppermint @ Mar 16 2010, 02:04 PM) What's up with the 'wavey' parts over the EVA AIR part? Almost looks like it's a banner. Looking at the mist being kicked up by the plane, i'd say the fuselage is covered by a fine dew or water droplets and this wavy pattern is the...

Sorry for opening this new thread and thanks for the reply! I searched in multiple postings before writing but didn´t find the discussion in "General". Once again: The most mistakes comes from the place between the ears. sandman

QUOTE (ZK-MAT @ Mar 9 2010, 08:39 PM) see if there's a new marine reserve / reef there lol After washing through that , would it not last ten minutes 'decay'on the road and turn into a rust ball in 20 ! /unsure.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :unsure: border= 0 alt= unsure.gif />

Birdstrike would be a whole new threat! At least you could descend fast by pulling the plug..... /plane.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :plane: border= 0 alt= plane.gif />

QUOTE (Trolly @ Mar 6 2010, 11:17 AM) Very scenic pics- like Paul said, a world away from the view of central Auckland I'm looking out the window at currently. Would love to come stay out there if I was ever in the region, enjoy the beers /cheers1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :cheers: border= 0 alt= cheers1.gif /> Trolly, if you are ever down, just contact me....Im up here a few weeks every year, and the folks who own it are really great. The house is a monster, i need a GPS to get around. As far as the farm work is concerned, they know my limitations, and time their...

I took the second shot from the edge of the wharf and watching the beast come around that corner with the driver nailing it and not backing off was very impressive. Always great to watch guys who really push machines like these. Have found a new interest, thats for sure. Here are a few more, have loads more and will try and update my website with some at the weekend.
