hi guys, a couple of different visitors, first up two kc-10 extenders, got pics of both see below

and this, don't know what this is, picking something Russian, but again, anyone want to shed some light

and then a Fokker, one of the usual visitors we get, in fact see Fokkers almost every few hours

and then to finish, us kiwis are everywhere here, even taking over the parking

enjoy

Some nice pics there from a phone camera!

Nice, Pics...

sorry Ian, i just cannot get an angle to get a good side on shot, will keep an eye out and if it gets moved i will pounce for you.

the Galaxy S4 phone camera is great, almost as good as my canon EOS, it is hard to get steady shots when it is a big zoom levels, but it is perfect for the quick snap whilst passing though
