Closer to Home 2 - for Charl

[JMBIII]

We took off from Mechanics Bay Heliport in our freshly painted HC120 and toured city center.




Then flew low along the waterfront for a bit before turning north and going up a bit.




Previously had arranged a stopover at Heletranz's heliport on Rosedale road.





Secured the bird, borrowed the courtesy car and went across the street and had dinner a Fat Boy's Tavern.
After a great meal, wife and I drove up the motorway to the Ramada Suites for a nights rest.

Gao in Albany is the one for Asian Fusion!
Nice screens; now you have the base paint, of course you need BC for the Helitranz lunch package over on Waiheke!

Charl, you must remember I am a product from half a world away.

"Gao in Albany is the one for Asian Fusion! ", I think that translates to "This restaurant is the one in Albany that is the one for Asian cuisine".

"of course you need BC for the Helitranz lunch package over on Waiheke!", translated is "I need BC (AC reg#? or birth control) for the lunch package flight Heletranz offers to Waiheke Island "?

I am getting fairly good at the NZ patiois, don't 'cha think?

P.S. I have one other livery for the 120 I can send to you if you like.

I just looked up Gao's on Google. Should have gone there for dinner!

You translate correctly!
Alas the helicopter weekend lunchtime traffic is getting so bad, that the Waiheke natives are threatening legal action!

Please check your PM's on this board.
