Those of you into Japanese anime (anyone?) will know Cowboy Bebop, a TV show from late last century. Well, Netflix now have a live-action version, all good clean fun, and well worth watching.
This was shot here in NZ, and at the end of episode one there's a gun fight at a space port, with Ardmore portraying a very cool future space port... Here's a couple of screen grabs along with Ron's upcoming Ardmore for MSFS:

Great stuff. I didn't realise it was shot here.

One of the Alpha 160s operated by the company I work for makes a very very brief cameo as background detail. If you pause at convenient parts you'll definitely recognise aircraft you know. :lol:

I've also seen a screenshot with the NZ Warbirds' DHC Beaver in the background. Now I know next to nothing about the anime except the name Spike Spiegel but a Beaver is about the last thing I expected to see in the live-action adaptation! :lol:

My wife and I watched the the preview too - she wasn't keen but I was really drawn into it.
