The NZFF February 2016 Screenshot Competition has now Closed

[Adamski]

Nothing wrong with that, LOL! Many of my favourite GA aircraft are Carenado flavoured. Mind you - if you see some of Bug's other/recent NZQN shots, you'll see more incredible stuff (as per usual!!) ... but maybe don't quite fit the "Wild Ride" theme.

My entry for the month A2A spitfire close to Queenstown. I feel any ride in a spitfire is wild ride

[Ian Warren]

I knew we need a name change 'Bobfires' ... Nah not the same

[Adamski]

You'd better win this one, Bob - so you can set the next theme ... a **SPITFIRES ONLY** competition! Now that would be truly wild!!!

Nice lighting in that pic - Gavin Conroy would be proud of you!

.. a **SPITFIRES ONLY** competition!

Adam .. now that would be a very interesting theme .... Everyone must have a Spitfire

[dbcunnz]

OH!!!! BUGGER that would be me out I can't afford to buy a Spitfire and anyway where the hell would you get on under a million bucks.
Haven't got the theme for the March comp yet still waiting on Marty to come up with something

[Adamski]

OH!!!! BUGGER that would be me out I can't afford to buy a Spitfire and anyway where the hell would you get on under a million bucks.

I had an idea once ... to make a full scale fibre-glass Spitfire replica (with decent perspex canopy and wheels). Easily de-riggable and stowable on a large(ish) trailer. I'd then rent it out for photo opportunities - or just so you could park it on your lawn for a while and totally pi** off your neighbours!

Same deal for air-shows: get a replica WWII flying helmet, goggles, jacket etc. then charge for the mug shots!

Anyone want to come in with me on this little venture?

Ooops ... sorry, Doug - I appear to have derailed the topic (again!!).

Let's be realistic, none of us are going to be able to afford a genuine Spitfire. However, the next best thing might be this

[Sonnyj]

Now, that is a really nice shot Bob.

[Ian Warren]

One could always go this direction . my brother in his 3/4 scale cardboard Spitfire

An evening "WILD RIDE" into Wellington in another howling southerly storm

[Ian Warren]

And I thought that is typical Wellington !

[Timmy74]

That is a great shot Doug!

Just checking out Jack's new tower for NZCH...the authorities will be wild about this flight

VLC, NZFF Photoscenery, Troy's airport v1.3, Huub Vink paint on Warwick Carter's FSX GB racer. ( I think that's all of them)

Hama's freeware Riva Aquarama on the Shotover.

Be a wild ride back to Lyttleton in that thing.

Re-enacting the invasion plans for WW2.

Just Flight Zero approaches Wellington from the West via Ohau Bay and then over the Wind Farm - I can imagine the wild ride that follows as they weave between the towers trying to avoid having their wings clipped . . . .

[Ian Warren]

Back in the day they not .. could not afford barrage balloons ... Sooo they put in these massive aeroplane cutting up machines

Golly gosh, it almost sounds like I'm historically accurate. Ha ha, not.
