Nelson - Picton - Blenheim (Part 2)

[JonARNZ]

Ok, moving right along. Arrived in Picton and sought out this mystery floatplane PCS that I just did a repaint for for the AI guys. Found it pretty easy in the end parked up near the ferry terminal...



Nice little plane, looks in great conditions..





Ok, now onto the Skyhawks. First time I wished the ramp was empty, that Convair is in the worst place possible. These babies attracted allot of attention from nearly everyone at the airport, it seems awareness is quite high about the fleet. We were looking at 2 2 seaters and 2 single seaters.

Arn't the skyhawks even kept inside hangers?

[nzav8tor]

I think there is alot more which are probably inside, these must be the overflow that they don't have room for.
Just a guess? Someone else probably has an accurate answer...

[Brennanx]

yea some skyhawkes are kept in hangers.

With the size of your front yard Ian, that would be interesting to see

They are normally never out is my understanding, must have been rejigging things in the hangars perhaps?

[Ian Warren]

Put a Large Flight Sim Screen infront off this !
