Nice pics :thumbup:

Yeah I seem to remember seeing that discussed in another forum somewhere, if you look at the other airlines under that "concepts" section I think it's pretty clear that the designer isn't actually associated with any of the companies, real or fictional, in any way and that they are presented as a design concept only. Edit - Although actually having looked into it a bit more thoroughly it looks like that company does actually do corporate branding design, so I may have been wrong about them not being associated with the airlines they present designs for, but it still appears...

unless it involves one of those eveil truck things whos sole purpose is to cull the general public!! :blink: :P

what a sweet plane... it even has a fire button for the missiles/cannon on the yoke! :ph43r:

hahahahahaha

Love the second shot- hope your son has fun in the UK!

yes they do (see Jimmy's post for times) what happens is that they stamp your boarding pass with "DOMESTIC PASSENGER ON INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT". You still have to go through customs (though from memory they just waved us through) and MAF screening, so no South Island apples in Auckland  :lol: Well Nik, I stand corrected :P Sorry mate! ~ZK-KAG~ hmmmm. Next time I'm flying up AA way I might see if I can fix it to catch a 777 or 747 out of CH. Would be good fun I'm sure :D

Yes Ian. Very interesting pictures. I can see the Concorde was a regular visitor to NZ. I have to say that it's not the same with Denmark. I have heard of 2 visits in Copenhagen, one in Aarhus, one in Aalborg and one in Billund. It has also been in Greenland once. A single picture from Greenland:

We'll see :)

The A319 is the same size (give or take a few seats) as the 737-700NG Well yea fair enough I was more thinkin of the 800 but ya still lookin at like 136 compaired to 149 give or take depending on which airline ya talk to. No doubt the 700 would be the best but cant see it happenin, look at the cost comparison and the deal that they can get on the A 319

I thought he was going to go over the end of the runway :o

Wow, that would be awesome! :D Alex

Cheers Craig and benwynn. I ended up using benwynn's first image in my slideshow, which I have uploaded here if you are interested to see it. Its 4mb and in ppt format.

only one had any nav equipment, an Aerobat that had 2 VOR indicators haha and i wouldn't trust that stuff as far as i can spit. have they fixed the frequency indicator thingys yet ? they never used to work so ya just had to guess which freq ya were on :blink: :lol: I didn't actually try them (assuming you're talking about JZT) :o I might have a poke around if it's out next time I'm down at the airport, - I didn't go last weekend cos of the bad weather.

That's sad; I seem to remember they had another accident not that long ago during a training flight?

well being a truckie, i have nothing but the greatest respect and admiration for the tyre guys, great job you guys do in some of the worst conditions,

...or even Mig29s/Su27s. It doesn't take much for Governments to change that and such things have happened before. That would actually be the coolest thing in New Zealand's history. (unfortunately the chances seem about as likely as a NZ moon expedition...)

Hi Ian. That is amazing about the Operation Deepfreeze having a Connie called Pegasus Here are the details of the one I flew in: Rego:PH-LKE Model Nr: 1049G-82 Aircraft Nr:4629 Name: Pegasus In KLM service: 22/12/1955 to 04/08/1964 and than sadly scrapped in July 1964 This web site has a lot of Connie info: Cheers, Peter
