Buses

My hanger is getting bigger.





And the big boy ...Adams paint.

[toprob]

Wow, looks like you are having fun.
You're gonna need a bigger hangar.

If only the RNZAF had gone for Airbuses, we wouldn't be in that crippled B757 state we're in now!

As regards MSFS, I really like the B737-800 (I have the PMDG) but prefer the A320. It's just a little easier on the eye externally. Internally it's *bizarre* ... "the Airbus way" is very different from Boeing and I often find it a little illogical. Thankfully, Airbus pilots in RL seem to be able to cope

Have you discovered the FlyByWire A320 yet?

Indeed, that's it.

[Charl]

I do like that first shot... but is it a replacement for those 757's?
We really need something that goes 10,000km in order to (nonstop) service the Asian destinations.
My ideal solution: Boeing 707 320B!
I have shopped the world and alas there are none for sale.

Plenty of them around - but sliced up and used as restaurants or "man caves"

Aaah ... good on yer, Grasshoppa!

Cheers Adders...Charl and Rob.
The Air Force problem is simple, A330-MRTT's x 3. The P-8's have ATA refuelling capability, and the rest is just modular (or keep one aside for VIP tasking) and while you have the cheque book open, grab a couple of those firefighting platforms for the new Hercs....these fire seasons aren't going to get any better.

Less than the cost of a cancelled ferry.
Air Marshall Splitpin for Chief of Air Force!

Indeed Charl. kerb the useless and annoying bike lanes and ornamental BS (Here anyway) Reign in these local money wasters and channel it in to something worthwhile.
Canterbury is in extreme fire risk...another day today, and more to come....Arghhh...dont get me started.

The Airbus in RNZAF colours looks great...as does the A380 in Air New Zealand colours.
How's this for an idea for replacing the 757s...either KC-46 Pegasus, despite the ongoing issues, or A330 MRTT.
Just a passing thought.

Ah but wait!
Look what turned up on the Marketplace!
Not very highly rated I fear, however a dab of RNZAF paint would fix all that

[Splitpin]

Well done Charl I shall check it out. I have found a nice KC-135.

Ian Warren would be horrified SP. Damn AIRBUSTs .
