Air Chathams and Airfreight were training at NZTG today in their Convairs.
I have talked with pilots saying that the C-5800s are fine but the C-580s are always breaking down and having problems.
Cheers

Okay thaks for that snippet of info - my wife was quite concerned something was wrong. I remember a 747 doing training circuits at Auckland one day and there were comments on talkback radio that it must be in trouble.
I remember ages ago seeing the DHL 727 doing approaches and overshoots at Auckland with the gear up, which I think concerned some of the "spectators". Ironically about a week later it really did have to return to Auckland due to an issue with the landing gear, although clearly made an uneventful landing.
