NZFF

Thanks very much gents ..it was a long road, but I got there. I've done a few things since leaving the Air Force, but this is the most interesting. It has changed some opinions I have had on various aspects of New Zealand culture and social issues. The campus takes kids from 5 through to 14 , so its all go. The daily damage is eye-watering, as is the associated paperwork. I report directly to my boss, who reports to the ministry ...so the paperwork has to 100% as a lot of money is involved.

Did you hear the captain say a about the way point landing at Hanada about they got it from the Jason Bourne movie the name tread stone :D The first officer didn't know what he was talking about. :D Cheers Todd

Thanks guys. The Op took 10 hours, but his team is happy with the result. He went home today ...just before the trouble started here....and that's bloody sad as well. Still, have a chopper circling over my area and sirens .... scary stuff.

Bugger! There is 2 things that I take from this: No matter how bad you might think things are, there is always someone more worse off, and secondly, live life to the full because you never know what tomorrow’s “lotto numbers” might be. Fate is the hunter.

The A380 has always been crying out for an extra 10m or so ahead of the wing - you don't need to shrink 'em all :lol:

Been a hectic week here in PNG. I arrived back into the country to do my six monthly check ride which went fine. A few days before I arrived back, Airservices technicians were dropped on Mt Konakalang which I have mentioned before. They were supposed to be there for two to three days but the weather closed in big time and they had been there for five days when I showed up. The food ran out on the sixth day and because there was an Australian contractor with them, the pressure was on to get them out. The training captain tried to drop food to them, got within a few hundred meters of the...

Thanks all for awesome answers. Regards, Aharon

That would be a sight indeed. Over here, I cringe when reading some of the articles posted on some of our local and national news feeds....grammar, spelling, and even context ....0 understanding. Another thing that seems to have evolved among our under forties ...including the prime minister, is the inability to pronounce the BLOODY LETTER "T"!!

Plenty of room here in chch Rob ...rents are dropping ....have an empty place right next door to me :)

Dinner preparation at 8.30m AM for mid-day Dinner...lots of meat, lots of veggies, and lots of gravy! Full-blown English Dinners every day... ...just like my dear old Mum always made for us...it becomes a habit!! ...and today's weather...Snow and all...>>> Paul....and a cup of hot Tetley Tea!.... :D ...!
