ZK-PBB In Foggy conditions this morning - it was sitting out on the end of RW 36 for a good +35 mins waiting for the conditions to improve before takeing off at approx 9.50am.

Here's a few angles of PBB

Pea soup alright , I recall riding out off Hamilton heading towards Cambridge and even in the Summer it was bad ! i dare not pass this truck in front off me - that was simply a big white box in front of me , followed him all the way to Rotorua .

Ah yes, we really know how to turn the weather on in Hamilton, bear a thought for me on me motorbike each morning with freezing hands pushing through that stuff on the way to work
Hey HW, did they shut the engines down while waiting?

[huff3r]

Heard that one lift off, by far the noisiest aircraft at HN all day. Only 3 CTC flights took off in the end I think, the rest cancelled due to fog..
