Good Morning New Zealand

[TVACGCEO]

I just crossed New Zealand and caught these beautiful screenies passing over Christchurch on my way to Tasmania from Yellowknife Canada. What a polar flight from Yellowknife.



I'd stop by but you know us Yanks and Canuks if we touch down there is gonna be a Beer Shortage in your nation lol.

This country , every man women and child has a Beer fridge ! oh yeah! ........ Your 747 , the PMDG laser system ?

[TVACGCEO]

This beauty is the PMDG ABL 747 110%. I ported it. Basically copied the model file over and then the config entries. I get a 2d panel, but as of yet figured out the VC. No vc doesnt matter to me as I use this as my primary WX Hunter and its easier on frames when I max FSX's setting Nuts to blue color lol. By the way I hear New Zealand Beer is stronger then ours. So I ran over to my local Beer Mart and low and behold they can import. So im going to order some soon. What do You Suggest to try.

These are two examples of New Zealand's finest beers here. The complexity of flavours here will may you think twice about our mainstream beer.

Go and see for yourself. Unfiltered and unpastuerised beer holds so much more body and flavour, handpumped at 10 degrees with naturally fermented bubbles.

Honestly, i take my students to DB and then to Galbraiths and they are shocked at the difference. DB basically has a simple barley and hop mix that then goes through what i like to call 'the milkshake machine' and then add artificial flavours and colouring. DB bitter, Waikato, Export all come from the same base.

But all said and done i still love to drink all our favourites. Although i teach about beer, wine and spirits, at the end of the day i'm still drinking Chasseur! LOL

Paul , 2.31 here for me , and i knew we'd get the man to sort us out ... to the fridge BURP ... a Beer with a Chasser .......

[TVACGCEO]

Thank you Paul. the last link you posted caught my CO's attention and all he said was were going to have a Happy kiwi X-mas Party. Just three days ago we recieved a shipment of WAIKATO beer for our NCO/CO clubs. I tell you that WAIKATO beer packs a kick and whooping over our domestic water beer up here. Well im off to the CAF hanger gotta file my flight report, I flew the Twin Otter today for 5 hour patrol and supply delivery to remote areas.
