That's the makings of one hell of a calendar for the new year.

Thank you for looking as well Charl, and yes NZCH provides a great background, airborne or otherwise.

Mate, got some fantastic pics there, loving the ‘Kiwi’ Vulcan! How long did it take to fly the Wilga to the coast?
You should make a 12 Month calendar, you have at least 36 months worth of pics you could use! Happy New Year, looking forward to more pics from you catalogue :)

Absolutely stunning shots. For a moment or two ,I thought were actual photos.
My favorites are the C-17 at Harewood, both ATRs and the KC-135A.

Thank you Sir...and a Happy New Year to you as well.
Re the Wilga...I started at Franz...I might try a real time flight from here (NZCH) soon and see how long it takes. As the crow flies its under 200k.
The calendar thing keeps coming up. I've done it before. A place called Vista Print in Australia do a really good job...super fast and well priced.

Starting at Franz is probably not a bad idea, although the Wilga is quicker than some of the bush planes I fly in sim! I have Wigram in XP12 and its fun to take off from (I have the DHC1 Chipmunk), and heading to the coast takes forever! Considering I live like 10min from Wigram its always fun to take off from (its the old scenery...otherwise Id be annoying the old folks home!), but NZCH Grasss02 gets a fair amount of action from me as well.

Maybe a PDF calendar?
