Good video. Glad the Prime Minister has some interest in aviation (or maybe he just enjoys the view).
If his assistants can use their video cameras on landing to film him why can't he change the law so that citizens
such as myself can do the same without breaking the law. It really annoys me the looks I get from some other
passengers because I occasionally film the aircraft landing.

On another note, would I be correct in thinking that the seats in the following video inside the same aircraft were
originally from Air New Zealand's A320s? You don't see much of them unfortunately. Are there any photos available
of the VIP section of the RNZAF's Boeing 757s?

I read the other day Wayne Mapp (Minister of Defence) is a pilot and he now has a rating (or at least some time) in the PAC 750XL

Fantastic, thats one of my pictures on Airliners.net

Can't say I've ever seen the VIP seats in the 75. Everytime I've ever been through it, it has had the standard seating. Would be good to see the different set ups.

Heh, I guess that's the benefit of the quick-change system, it's always set out differently. There is a good photo of the VIP configuration here.

I believe Wayne Mapp learned to fly at North Shore Aeroclub (his name is on the large list they have on the wall of people who have learned to fly there). I remember seeing him there a couple of times. Its good to hear that he can (apparently) fly a PAC 750XL.
