Looks like it parked up in the deepfreeze area when I left. And by the sound of it that L-29 just flew over my place again!

I might contact the airport company and see if we can get slots cut in the fence , weld extra tube and rewire it for people to take photo's without the hinder of a fence ! wonder if it has been asked or put forward to them ? , I count around 150 photos , have some dramatic file and a variety making it one heck off a Wed , course the people I met .

I got some moving film as well ... Peter Jackson move over

Hey, coincidently got the same Singapore airlines 777 coming in on long finals, just starting to lower the undercarriage, when I was out in Kaiapoi yesterday. Great minds and all that eh Ian?

Had to drop my wife off at the airport and seeing as I had nothing else on took my camera and spent an hour or so watching the comings and goings at the North end of the airport. I thought I may as well add to Ian's collection with a few of my own

Couldn't get the Dash-8 props like that if I had been trying but it seems that coincidence does work sometimes!

Got to love the heat haze effects from the engine exhaust, gives this shot a sort of impressionistic painterly effect

Hells Bells , that 777 photo from the Alt , that camera of yours is a Weapon system getting such a shot from that range

The fact that it's a pretty large aircraft works in my favour too.
