Interesting pictures ...the G200 is owned by some Hamiltonians and based in Hamilton (there must be some wealth in Hamilton!) and suppose to go on the NZ register eventually..also looks like there is some action at Alpha Aviation which is good news...

If Deane was to make a PAC XL750 , ZK-KBE would have to be the most easy to do a repaint . tongue.gif

ahh good old hamilton airport spent a few months working the ramp and fuel there. enjoyed it immensly. FYI when i was loading the 737-300's that anz and freedom used were almost never fully loaded up to MTOW, there was always a little wriggle room for extra cargo and such, we used to put about 3000kgs onboard for baggage (from memory figures could be wrong). now the saabs, metro and bandits, where more susptable to wieghts espically druing summer, same with the 737's but to a lesser extent. now hamilton has seen 767's and 757's, in commercial service. from what i remember on teh one (k2000) flight i works, there was hardly anything to unload, mind you the flight crew made matters hard for us.

as far as the new gen 737's i would hazard a guess and say that they have more thrust, but has less take off lift, so they would never be at the MTOW. great shots though.

now i could be completely worng about all this, but i am just remembering from over 11 years ago, so time may have blured the details winkyy.gif
In the ongoing battle between objects made of aluminum going hundreds of miles per hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose.
