Here's another picture. This time of a CT4B at Motueka in early 2005. Nice!

More useless news...
OK, got everything sorted out... now you can access this site via the following three domains:
www.flying.geek.nz / flying.geek.nz
www.nzl.geek.nz / nzl.geek.nz
www.dnc.geek.nz / dnc.geek.nz
If you're planning on bookmarking any of these, I'd suggest you use the flying.geek.nz domain. I'm not sure how long I will keep the others pointing here.
BTW - the meaning of "dnc"? "Does Not Compute" :-)

Can we do it? Yes ICANN!
OK, it's a corny title...
I managed to spend a couple of morning at the recent ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) conference in Wellington this past week. Nothing too exciting as I was manning a display rather than attending presentations and so forth...
One very good point however was that Domainz [www.domainz.net.nz] were giving away free ".geek.nz" urls - free for a year anyway.
Needless to say, I picked up a couple. Now when you enter www.dnc.geek.nz or www.nzl.geek.nz [nz.geek.nz was taken...] you will automatically come to this site. Nice! I'll see over the next year whether I want to keep the domains or give them up.
I've got a plans for some cool things to do with them, but we will see what eventuates. Any suggestions are most welcome!
Actually, I'm also looking for a cheap host for the web sites - leave a comment if you have any ideas.
Anyway, a post would not be decent without a picture. This one is of New Zealand's AWESOME Thunder Mustang. Check out the official web site at www.kiwithunder.com. Well worth a look!

Crazy Aviation
Check out this Crazy Aviation link [also on the right of this page] - loads of awesome pictures and many Mb's of movies! The best content are the movies, such as the boy-racer B747's and the guy who DELIBERATELY set his parachute alight [yep, flames]!

Wild and Woolly in Wellington
It's probably the worst day weather-wise in Wellington this evening. Wind gusts up to 120km/hr with the airport reporting winds of 60-63 knots [111-116 km/hr] on several occasions. Seas are running at 8-9 meter swells [Cook Strait ferries are cancelled for the evening].
Needless to say, this makes for some awesome sights ready to be photographed. Shame I'm not much good with the camera - most of the ones I got were of a car windscreen covered in seaspray... doh! I did take a couple standing up outside, but couldn't keep the camera still enough... anyway, here's one that turned out all right [It doesn't really do justice to the situation, but never mind] during a calmer period.
In fairness this is by far the worst day so far, and it's been like this in a few places around New Zealand [I realise that one or two of you are ready to defend the lovely Wellington weather to the death... :-) ], but it's still bad.
My flat has been shaken in the wind a few times, but all in one piece so far!
