Went to the airport today for 2 hours today in the sweltering heat. Not fun spotting in temperatures in the high 30's. OAB took a bit longer than the planned arrival of 1525 which made it worse. But i had fun and enjoyed seeing OAB. Lovely paint, have no complaints.

Photos..

Very nice! May I ask what camera/lens setup you were using?
When they finish the rebuild, I really hope they put an observation deck somewhere. But hopefully one that doesn't electrocute you when you touch the handrail. tongue.gif winkyy.gif

better not send that over here to bris, you would roast the meals with out even turning on the ovens, must be a bath tub to get cool and keep clean!!!

Hi Ian,

we had no problem here in mango hill where i live, but the wife was off work for a week, she worked at the markets, they are still struggling to get power on fully. i had an intresting few days at my work, had to finish early one day, then move all the trucks the next day, in the end we were lucky at my work, if it had peaked at what they were expecting then we would have had big problems, as it was we had to get alot of big tanks and cylinders fished out of the rivier and bay.

Alot of people have lost everything and insurance won't pay out, even the govt will not pay out to nzer's here due to the fact that we have a different visa to almost all other immigrants. there is still alot of business that are not running, and i expect alot of small business will not recover.

thanks for the thoughts though.

Jason
