Royal New Zealand Air Force Doing A Big Favor For Toprob!!

Postby Aharon » Wed May 01, 2019 4:20 am

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Famous Toprob is nearing completion of the renovations and reconstruction of his NZCH airport scenery but he needs MORE construction workers to help him finish the renovations of the airport to meet deadline set by New Zealand government. So Royal New Zealand Air Force has agreed to do famous Toprob a favor by picking up construction workers and their heavy construction tools and have them flown to NZCH to help him finish the construction of the aurport.

Presenting a nice Royal New Zealand Air Force Boeing 757-200M flight from NZTG Tauranga Airport located adjacent to Tauranga Harbour in the suburb of Mount Maunganui about 2 miles northeast of city of Tauranga to NZCH Christchurch International Airport located 7.5 milles to the northwest of the city centre of Christchurch

Wait! What?
You get scones if you develop scenery?
Why has no-one mentioned this before?
