QUOTE(Kelburn @ Aug 14 2007, 05:19 AM) I couldn't see the airport so I didn't get a scale on how big it was but quite possibly a Challenger. That sounds more likely; I suspect if an IL-62 was planning on visiting we would have been well aware of it! /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif />

QUOTE(SUBS17 @ Aug 7 2007, 09:29 PM) Nope it has nothing to do with that at all its for trainning both for NZ and Australias Defence Force. Back in the 80s before the Nuclear ban in NZ the US used to bring their aircraft and weapons to NZ as part of ANZUS and had some awesome air battles over the country(F-16s, F-15s, E3s, F-14s etc). In one exercise they brought an entire Carrier Battle group down here for trainning.

It was awesome Trolly - I'll make a thread soon with all the aircraft pics and stories. Choice- looking forward to it man.
