Pioneer Aero Ltd NZ 6370 is on her way home. This aircraft will be back in New Zealand by Christmas and flying in the New Year, finaly a Strikemaster will again fly in New Zealand skies.
Look out for ZK-STR.
Steve is currently in Port Macquarie putting it in a container.

Good to see another ex-military jet joining the civil register.

They use the a37 for rides so it would be quite likely they would use it for rides for abit extra income i would like to assume.

Hmmm ... weird ... I always see them OK. Who's your ISP? Maybe their DNS servers aren't quite on the ball. If it's Xtra, then you're lucky to see anything laugh.gif

I'm with Ihug/Vodafone. No problem seeing almost any site, but with this one (blogspot) I'm lucky to get 1 in 4 images show up and I cannot click on them to see full size either. Its a real pain

Have you [ever] manually changed your DNS settings in network TCIP/IP properties? I did have a page bookmarked somewhere that lists the main NZ DNS servers. If you fancy messing about, I could dig that out to see if there are other DNS servers you could use as a test - just to see what happens.

EDIT: Found it: www.nzconnections.net.nz/DNS_Servers.

In that case, it may be worth comparing your DNS server settings.
