What aircraft have you flown in ?

[victor_alpha_charlie]

That was a wee bit before the company half owned by my old man (Speedlink Parcels) had it. Small world

[Kelburn]

From today I can add a C152 to my list of aircraft flown.

[Naki]

Don't think I would like to have been in a 152 around NZTG today - I guess it was okay weather wise in NZWG today?

Steelsporran - what is a Bocian?

[Alex]

Apparently it was quite nice down Christchurch way today, although was particularly nasty around the Bay of Plenty. The forecast was for occasional showers - hah!

Was real nice in CH today, despite what the weather forcasts were. I took a plane from ch to timaru for maint this afternoon,- was stinkin hot. Stopped at ashburton and had a look at the aviation museum there, wow that place is getting bigger and better by the day. Had a looksy in their harrier, sat in the canberra (very cool) and a nosey through the friendship which is in a fair bit better condition than when it was up at wigram not all that long ago...

Correction NZPP.
Visibility: 3SM but the wind etc. was the calmest I have ever seen it in my life.
I think I like Cessna's. The fly well and you see a lot of scenery.

Yep it's been strange in Wellington the last two days, very overcast but hot (up to 29C yesterday) and VERY humid.

[Kelburn]

Wellington.
I've been thinking:
WTH? Wellington's gonna be hotter than Vietnam when we go there!

I thinks there is something wrong with Wellington weather. It isn't meant to be this hot.

If the weather in Vietnam is anything like it was in MAlaysia, don't worry, there'll be plenty of heat..

Somehow KL managed to be about 10 times hotter/more humid than we've had lately.

[benwynn]

Singapore and anywhere else around the Equator is 1000 times hotter than New Zealand!!!

[Kelburn]

Hanoi (where I'm first going) will be around 25 degrees, Ho Chi Minh will be around 30 ( maybe a bit below ) whereas the Mekong Delta will be very hot (no too sure on temperatures). On my two day SIN stopover it'll be around 35 degrees (although last time I was there I found Penang and K.L. alot hotter than SIN for some reason) Anyway, you get used to it after a day or two

Hmmm... I've been to Vietnam a few times and have lived in Asia for the last 14 years. I've not been to Hanoi, but Ho Chi Minh / Saigon was always MUCH hotter than any place I've been in NZ (subjectively anyway!)

[pois0n]

The humidity there makes it feel like the air is trying to suffocate you!

It's not so much the heat but the humidity that buggers you. Eg in Darwin in Oz it is generally 30-35 all year but in the dry season (winter) it feels much less choking than in the summer when it is near on impossible to do anything outside

[Kelburn]

The great thing about no humidity is that when you find shade it is cooler. In humidity this is not so.
The bad thing about no humidity is that when you are in the sun, it seems hotter than it would if there were no humidity.

I've been meaning to add 'De Havilland Canada DHC-8-102 Dash 8' to my list, for my flights to and from Wanaka at Easter

[benwynn]

Just updated mine with the A380 as well

Made a mistake here, next post
