Nice Marty!
Looks like the bizjet in shot one got a bit close to one of the herc props! :D What's with that paint scheme?

And I like that vortex (?) pattern off the props!

The boys are certainly on form.

Thanks JK ...I must join the guys up to the forum so they can add a few comments about their pics.
Thanks for looking John ... and i agree that jet paint scheme is odd.

Great pics, sure get some interesting aircraft in CHCH. When I was there last week I was fortunate enough to be there when the Qantas 747 from Santiago to Sydney was diverted to fuel up (req for extra holding time as Sydney was having some weather at the time). Didn't get any pics though, too busy watching. Also saw an ambulance taking someone out of one of the USAF hercs...

Thanks for looking Orion , the boys would have loved to get some shots of that 747 ... bad timing i guess.
