Congrates Alistair,

Enjoy WOW as well as the primo flight there and back.

Wonder if you will get the right hand seat for 10mins or so?

Cheers
Derek

Thanks very much guys! :) I must say I was shocked to check in on the competition and see how many votes I had got. I hope to show more than just my gratitude to everyone in the next couple of months, and hope to sponsor a screenshot competition prize myself as a gesture of thanks. And I know many NZFFer's are going to be at Wanaka as well, but I'll definately post up a few pics and some video of the day!
I can't thank VAC and Vincent Aviation enough for such an awesome prize! My fingers are crossed for the 1900C or the Dash 8-100, neither of which are types I have been on yet :D Very exciting!

I have flown down to Wanaka once before, and with a plane load of aviation enthusiasts onboard, chances are slim to even get a look in the cockpit :lol:

I wouldn't say that- Dad's just filled up the Dash with all his mates :lol: , some of who aren't aviaiton fans. That may improve your chances :P
I could almost guarantee at least a look in the cockpit- we want you to come away from the trip saying good things about VA :P

:lol: at Charl :D Yeah sorry, it's not the most ideal screenshot for a banner. I tried dozens of angles, but it's just so hard to fit a mountain and a side on view whilst on cruise lol I might look at wearing a Vincent Aviation logo in my signature banner for the month? Will that do? :D Thanks all, and thanks to NZFF admins as well.

Erm yes you caught he out on this one, sorry VAC! I tried cropping the original many different ways but the dimensions of the text and with the high tail banner image looked odd, plus the writing on the fuselage took the attention away from the website URL... I'm no pro graphic designer ya know :P

Anyway, I'm sure Vincent Aviation will get plenty more recognition on here once all the Wanaka airshow photos get posted up ay?

I can't find a decent sized one that doesn't go pixely in photoshop, if you can knock something better up and upload it, I'll put it in the banner ;)
