ZK-ECO Hamilton 22 Oct 11

Tell ya one thing Ham , when the Flight Sim model from Quality Wings is released , its going to be one super simple paint , even the internal door detail would be outta this world

I read on Airliners.net recently that Lufthansa are soon going to withdraw their Avro/BaE 146s. These aircraft are getting on now, so the chances of flying in them will be less and less.

Good, sharp shots there, nice even light too. Not easy to photograph a white aircraft, but the light and exposure (and sharpness) is spot on.

Smooth landings.

Great shots....and yet another good reference.....good on ya Ham

I had one of the last flights here in NZ on the 146 , I should have been a cabin director back then , had one Knob on another flight , how the hell it got the job i don't no , people skills pointed the fact he was GA .

One thing i liked about the type was watching the wing and control surfaces , end of the day they must have been a wrong choice , all pilots wanted 73s but 146s they got .

The camera doesn't do to badly for something that cost $199 two years ago .

more in the Heavy drizzle type of wet:

Ive seen them in the late hours off the evening frolicking around an ATR with there scrubbing brush,s and polishing rags ... this 146 wont need that for a couple days

One of my favorite aircraft. I think they are getting phased out based more on economy aren't they? With airline ticket fares much lower these days, these 4-engine aircraft chew too much gas for the number of passengers they carry over a specific range? I too cant wait for the QW sim version to come out.

As she leaves , the clean up and climb out almost like a type that was so NZ
