It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
— Helen Keller, at age 74, on flight around the world, news reports of 5 February 1955

More pics...
I must be keen - more pictures from Wellington. Pictures are Freedom Air A320, Qantas B737, Airwork SA227, Mt Cook ATR 72 and looking down the taxi way (see, it can almost get busy here!).
I do have some photos of PA28 and PA38 aircraft. Unfortunately, with only a 3xoptical zoom lens they end up being extremely hard to find [could be good for a quiz night comp if you're interested! ha ha ha]. Likewise with smaller commuter types such as light twins and heavy singles.
What I really need is a new camera, 10xoptical zoom and I'd be right :-)
I'll try and remember to take a couple of shots at the wn aero club later today... give you a look at what I'm flying now [not that exciting!].
Yeah, that's right. Been up a couple of times by myself. Going up with the CFI this weekend [weather permitting] in a PA28-201R.
Just like the Arrow at AAC, except the fancy wing [like FOS had] and an extra 100 litres of fuel :-) plus a few other bits and pieces...
It's got around 6 hours endurance [almost longer than a bladder :-) ha ha ha]. It's apparantly in excellent condition inside and out [looked good to me].
Nice pic of the Qantas with the shadow on the runway!
ReplyDeleteHi Gavin,
ReplyDeleteYeah - a bit different from AR!

Well, we'll see if I'm allowed back in it after my flight tomorrow [if the wx is OK] :-) ha ha ha
