Well I know it says only pics from NZ but maybe Trolly can make an exception just this once...
If you guys are interested I have lots more, heaps of planes in europe we never see the likes of in NZ... Cessna Citation V (five)  And its partial glass right hand panel  (I have expanded photos of the whole panel too somewhere.) CJ2  And her more modern panel  And airborne, note the altitude, service ceiling for this plane!  And for something really impressive, I snapped this at an airport in southern Ukraine last year, there were rows and rows of these ships parked up and decommisioned, this is just one.  And I couldn't resist this sexy front on shot of one of our Citation X's. (Ten) With CJ1 and Excel in the background.  Hope you like them, Dave |

Excellent, keep 'em coming!
Those Biz jets look so sleek Dave, where they all taken in Austria? Also, it would be brilliant to see some shots of the Fokker 70/100 that your airline flies, and perhaps some airbourne appoach shots if that is possible. Do you ever fly to the UK? -------------------- Intel Core i5-2400|8GB RAM|ATI Radeon HD 5750 (1GB)|1TB Seagate Barracuda|Windows 7 64 Bit|FSX Gold Edition|24" AOC Widescreen <<

Hi Trolly,
The Fokker (I guess you saw it on my site) was just a visitor, russian owned apparently. We have a 737-300 VIP and two EMB 135 Legacy's too but they are based in far off places, Bucharest, Kiev and Moscow I think. The pic of the V is on the east GA apron at Vienna, the CJ2 shot I took in Ancona, Italy and the hangar shot is from GA west apron. Our main hangar. The IL's were in Zaporihzia in southern Ukraine. We fly to the UK all the time, normally a bit busy for |

Awesome Awesome Awesome Dave! In the shot of the CJ2 panel with the PFD and the ND, is the green stuff a moving map or weather?

Opps, I didn't quite finish that last message.
Was saying, normally a bit busy for photos on approach but I'll do my best to get some. In the meantime heres a few more of interest. This gets addictive huh?! Approach to Berlin Templehof, this was the airport the nazis built in the 30's. The huge airlift after WWII flew into here. You give the locals a good wake up call on approach and departure, only ten mins from the centre of Berlin by car!  737's taxiing out at Berlin Tegel. They were going past non stop, Tegel is the base for dBa, Air Berlin and Hapag Loyd Express.  Air Berlin 737-700  The Fokker in question  Red Bull DC-6 at Hangar 7 in Salzburg, she's an absolute beauty, millions spent on it. Like a hotel inside.  Candair fire bombers in Madrid, Spain. Garrett turboprop conversions.  A very dirty Italian ATR, one of the poorest airlines for service and aircraft cleanliness so I've heard.  And an SAS Dash 8 Q400 in Tegel.  And one more, just a cracking shot of a CB cloud over the med.  Camera locked and loaded for the next trip... Dave |

The green stuff is the visual part of a system called TAWS, Terrain Avoidance Warning System.
It takes the elevation data from our FMS database and puts it into a pretty picture on the PFD. You can select it between weather and terrain. The numbers are the highest and lowest elevations like on the VFR enroute charts for NZ, in this case 10200' and 5000'. Normally I like to fly with the pilot PFD on weather and the centre MFD on terrain but I guess I didn't on this occasion... |

Nice photos, pity to see all those IL-76s not going anywhere. For lack of aircraft cleanliness you can't beat Air France.

Surprising that some people just hate aircraft and their noise... |
