NZFF

I do have a couple books into coming from Amazon, I think I pointed out just how much difference between technical book shops in the NZ and even then could not find titles , one good example is the the Lockheed P2V (US currency was ideal) $48NZ - 320 gloss page high quality print .. my Consolidated Catalina book of the same quality was NZ180$, both brand new but that was the markup ... bloody atrocious ! What the worst the Govt want to do is now wants to put on a TAX for these items for something one cannot buy in New Zealand, they aren't cloths or shoes .. these are specific specialized...

Arr the days we walked out to a set off stairs to climb on board a 747 .. none off these fang dangled air-bridges , my first trip out , I was 18 JUST ! .... idea's to move to OZ , the 747-200B City of Canberra , back then I recall the airfare was $816 NZ return just in case ... back then my weekly wage was just under $80NZ per week.

The amount off times it flew in and outta Christchurch and even to watch the unique approach's.

One thing I have noticed, been a few aircrew jobs posted recent and another was air-side driver and aircraft refueller.

Missed that , one had to grow up pretty bloody quickly , the old jokes tho tried and tested but scrutinized well before trap doors opened.

Sure is a hell off a lot better than the original , biggest thing and one that did elevate much this problem was loosing observation decks .. worked both ways for the large airports but also created a revenue , change affects everyone.

originally he said it was a GTX 760, which would have been a big improvement on my old GTX 650, but when it arrived it was actually a 770. Man, I wish I had an "old" 770 :) Have just upgraded to P3D, currently running with a 560/Ti which seems to be coping well

I've now had a week off, spending time with my daughter, who's visiting from Wellington, and we went down to my son's place in Geraldine Christmas Eve, I'm just back now. So managed to spend Christmas with two of my children, and the grandchildren, a real treat for me. So although this year has been a bit of a pig, it certainly ended well! So I hope you all had a great day, and that you enjoy the break.

:lol: I shouldn't laugh .... but i did ... so there :) Fear not Fozz , for this will pass .....
