More now retired oldies at Welly. These particular examples will be included in the first release of our Retro 70s and 80s AI Air Traffic Project in the next couple of days.

It is indeed Charl, but out of respect for New Zealands darkest hour in aviation, the rego ZK-NZP has not been included with the others in the pack.

Yeah good thought. That episode is best forgotten, from an aviation point of view at any rate. That aircraft had no business being at that place at that time. There are people alive today who must still have sleepless nights about their culpability.

Im one of those "sleepless" ones as you called it. I lost a sister on flight TE901, and one other of our project group lost a best friend on it....... So its kinda close to home for a few reasons........
