Sparks fly in airport spat
The suggestion that Queenstown Airport is bigger than its Christchurch counterpart has sparked a war of words emphasising the growing rivalry between them.

Might be all said and done with the joust - but recall the spat over runway extensions in the mid 1990s ... maybe life for the Boeing B-52 Stratofortess yet .. they could get that Aussie PM to rebuild the airport to suit a new version .. a people bomber , simply modify the bomb bay .. i ll have to do the engineering plans .. run in onto target , skiers gone .. thump thump thump 200X ... love to see that in the head lines .. maybe i should create an article and sent it too them - the news people i mean ... Arrr ART theme ! ..Jetstar tho will have to dump the ARBUST and going to my preferred Boeing product . unsure.gif

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'
