NZFF

Took the girls to work this morning.....glad i did, what a show.
C-5, C-17, 5 LC's, 757, A-319...all on the ramp, and then just after getting there 2 of our Hercs arrived...line astern, low, flat out...buzz and break.......bloody magic.

Anyway, here you are....not the best shots....and mainly the LC.







sorry this is a crappy shot















and an Airbus



Ian Im sorry i couldnt pick you up, the car was full....you would have had to sit on one of the dollys knees....and i know you wouldn't like that . ...next time ol fella

Oh....and one more for Charl......he's got a thing about wheels.

Typically nice pics , if you ever get a chance to climb in the wheel wells off the C5 , do it you will be staggered a the shear size of the forgings .

Yeah, but much, much closer! You have to see the crossheads, the links, the brake disks, the HOSES
