And for the December competition......

Rapide near Rotorua, early morning.

Smooth landings.

Union Airways Lockheed L10 Electra ZK-AFD departing Tauranga en-route to the South. Another Electra ZK-AGJ "Kahu" would later land in the harbour while on approach to the airport (everyone was able to wade ashore)

The Electra is one of the classic airliner designs of the '30's... The aircraft reached New Zealand in 1937 when the first two examples were imported by Union airways... In the immediate pre-war and WWII period the fast 10 seat aircraft flew the main trunk routes for Union Airways... Eight aircraft eventually operated in New Zealand - seven for Union Airways/NAC and one for Trans Island Airways.

Now that is a bit of nostalga. As a youngster I remember flying in a similar aircraft "Lockheed Lodestar" from Wellington to Nelson.
This is not part of the contest.

There was a Loadstar on the flight line during the 1998 Wanaka WOW , in a very spurious camo but heard many of that generation over-speak hoping it was to fly , not sure whether waiting for CAA approval or just to grab interest , since then its been parked at the Wanaka Transport Museum adjacent to the airfield , obviously not allowed to fly again .

It would be great to have one of these for FSX

A Union Airways de Havilland DH.86 Express registered as ZK-AEF on 14 August 1935
This is not a competition picture but would be if I had a FSX model

If you know where there is a model of the DH86 that could work in FSX I would love to have it and yes I do have the AWESOME FOURSOME DAK pack and about 15 or 16 NZ DC3 repaints

There is of course the DH89, specifically for FSX, which has some history here in NZ. Hmm, I did start a ZK-AKY paint, I might drag it out for the comp...

Great month- didn't realize how many classic repaints there were out there. This one has been around for a while:

Here's mine ...

ARAWUA splashes down gracefully at Milford Sound, NZMF. What a sight that must have been.

I really like Deek's Electra. I missed that one in my repaints search - probably as I was (initially) looking for FSX compatible old NZ classics (rare as hen's teeth).

I think I may grab that FS9 version and see what it looks like!

I'd just like to make an apology for any posts that were deleted from this thread, we try hard to keep conflict out of the Screenshot Competition and in doing so some posts were edited or deleted - without any follow-up, which is not ideal.

Sorry guys, if any of your posts were in that category. Feel free to PM or Email any of us if you'd like to have a chat about any of the issues raised.

...back to the competition then!

All this pioneering airline stuff is long before my time- heck, I wasn't even around when Ansett were operating in the country, so I've picked something local for my entry: A Sea-Bee Air Grumman Goose on the ramp at Mechanics Bay.

Apparently, back in 70's and 80's, these amphibs used to fly Aucklanders out to the various islands of the Hauraki Gulf, and even land at Eastern Beach which is about 3 minutes down the road from my house. Cred. to Jon Murshison for the special paint for the FS2004 model, I believe he has also down a similar version for the FSX default Goose too

Ooohhh ... more to add to that database!

. I'll have to check on Jon's FSX Goose - I didn't realise it existed. I could only find a handful of native OLD aircraft for FSX before doing mine.
