What an awesome day yesterday, glad I went early rather than later. Feel sorry for those stuck in traffic for hours ..

Anyway, here are a few of my photos from yesterday with my new camera. Will post some more once I have sorted through them if you guys like them

Cheers
Antony

Great shots guys....thanks very much.

Nice pictures!

The highlight for me would probably have to be the F-18 displays and the final flyby the 4 ship did (with one flying directly over the flight line

)

Just a couple of pictures for now (until I can find the time to have a decent look through what I got)

the 777-300 was the best highlight of my day what a great aircraft

Now i wonder , if i jumped in the back door , a quick flight to Auckland .. from Flightsim Capital Christchurch .. would i get to the front door and at the gate in at NZAA in time or would i have to run a little faster

@ Anthony , forget the purdy cat .. that NH90 looks the motherbitch don't mess with me

Attitude .. correct !

And there I was thinking I was at an amazing airshow.. then a Holden and Ford came onto the runway and started doing this... AWESOME !

Ha! I hate boy racers, and to see the Hueys dropping "those" cars from a great height was poetic (symbolic) justice, if you ask me

A whole long straight runway and a Holden can't stay in a straight line ......useless !!

To be fair the Ford didn't cop much better, only machine at that part of the show sticking to a straightish line seemed to be the Avenger ..!

Did anybody catch any good pics of the RNZAF B757? I'm particularly after the 75th Anniv tailfin logo ... for my next repaint!

by **Ian Warren** » Sun Apr 01, 2012 11:20 pm

Don't look much at those Ford Holdons .. its the upstairs i look at ... lovely strafing run by the Avenger , shot the ass outta that blue looking car

by **Adamski** » Sun Apr 01, 2012 11:41 pm

So wait ... let me get this straight ... they chop the AL Spitfire (that would've represented all WWII Kiwi pilots in the B.O.B.) and show EFFING *CARS* ??????

Thanks, A/T. I didn't realise they also put something on the *underneath*!!!!

Yes - some max-res versions would be great. If you have the time, before you zip them up, you could strip away anything outside the aircraft itself. That might help keep the size down - but keep them uncompressed, if you can! I'll P.M. you my email

No maybe about it ... it's *next*

... providing I can get some decent reference pics.

I wonder how long the real 757 will carry the stickers. I hope they don't just peel them off after the air show

by **Ian Warren** » Mon Apr 02, 2012 4:57 pm
