In answer to Marty's Monster Aircraft Pics.....

Great shots guys..big fan of the DC-4/6/7...was lucky enough to see (and hear!) the DC-6 spraying Apple Moth over our house in Auckland at 0 feet...what a sight and sound!

Wish somebody would import a DC-6 and have it flying around NZ in TEAL or RNZAF colours ...giving sightseeing trips etc like the Warbirds Dakota..anyone want to put togther a syndicate?

Two fantastic TV Programs:

From the History/Discovery/Quest Channel....

"Ice Road Truckers"....encouraged me to download and purchase the various; "18 Whees of Steel" Truck Simulator series.... thumbup1.gif ...!

"Ice Pilots"...encouraged me to squeeze a Douglas DC4 into my already crowded Hangar.... thumbup1.gif ...!

(I'm scared to watch; "Desperate Housewives" in case I get encouraged to do something really silly!... blink.gif ... blink.gif ...)..... laugh.gif ...!

Paul...G-BPLF..FS 2004...FS Nav.....and a Happy (Wealthy) Bachelor!....(so far!)... biggrin.gif ...!
