Nice to see the old lady doing her thing down in the southern ocean (NZ 1980) to see the southern lights last night.
Read about it on "stuff " and wrongfully assumed it was a 787..... but the lads assure me it was the old cougar. (ZK-NCG)

"the lads never seem to be wrong" No they're not.
Not much gets past them ... and they saw it on flight radar ... so .... bloody sky spies. :rolleyes:
I must ... Must, post some of their pics on the photo forum ... I have them all on file, but just finding the time lately is so hard.

Dean , that is quite amazing footage B-) , the 767 out off Dunedin also would have had Dunedinites going crazy plane spotting added , not often you get one into that airport.
