Spotted these today

There has been nothing much happening over the weekend, but I did get a couple of OK shots.

The first is a General Dynamics Allison Convair 440/580 registered to Air Chathams Ltd. I never get sick of watching these aircraft come and go. It's one of the few airliners that can arrive with smoke out of the back of the engines and no fire engines waiting :-)

The second is an Aerospatiale AS 355 F1 registered to AV8 Helicopters Ltd based at Paraparaumu.

    Re the Convairs, they're also the only aircraft that can regularly use that rate of climb and not worry about a loss of power! I wouldn't want to be in a yacht near the airport when one departs.

    I also saw the Twin Squirrel today and got a bunch of snaps off both arriving and departing.
