NZFF

must have landed while i was at work, the 727 of dhl is noisy enough, would have loved to hear that bird!!

Not at 15:30 but I did see WAC doing a lot of touch and gos around 13:00-14:00. Also some random comment about false teeth by them to the tower. There were a couple of guys stading on the seawall at about 1530ish with a camera on a tripod. I was takin WAC out to PM. Didnt hear the comments on the radio, that would have been about right though, the instructor on that day is crazy I think ;) I managed to get some photos of the TU154 before I started work today. Ill post them when I get home.

Two dates to keep open: 30 March 4.30pm - Auckland NAC Flying Tour arrives at Ardmore 31 March 1-4pm - Auckland MOTAT Open afternoon (free entry) 1-4pm at Aviation hangar (off Motions Road, near Zoo)

Ahh yea old ZK-CKO, gotta be the loudest 185 in the country :clap:

Indeed. Being that it is utilising much of the technology from the 787 (Interior, engines, systems) and a new more efficient wing but still retaining commonality with the 400. I wouldnt be surprised to see Air NZ look at a few if they dont go for the 777-300. Edit This is the latest order announcement for the 748

Awesome vids mate! Man I must make another visit to Wellington this year, and hopefully it will be windy as hell! Even the 733s work to land there, could hear the engines whining on short finals :lol:

what happens if you're describing a 737-700? 73G or 73W if it has winglets.

Well, it doesn't really determine anything we don't already know- a 172 is a 172, it flies the same regardless of how you say it. It'll pass. My 2 cents. :plane:

Pacific Jets can fly their CJ1 into Ardmore, according to their website ( ). ;) Alex Have also seen a Lear 35a ZK-XVL (c/n 649)in there but parked up the Warbirds end and of course the regular C501 N800DT (c/n 501-0198) that is based. Be interesting to see what would fit onto the runway. Apart from a few deliveries cant see the place being that good because of where it is although I assume parking/landing etc is cheaper? Nunner

LOL Death by Polls :D

I was going to go for 'Ee Em Be one one ten', but it wasn't on the poll.

I say, Im glad I passed my CPL today, so no more 172 (apart from night flying) untill i do my C-cat.... Multi engine's here i come... Awesome; I'll look for your name on the board by reception. :)

'That which is not spoken', but when I have to ay three twenty as well.

Beech nineteen hundred D, but I usually don't bother with the "D" unless I'm being really specific about what model of 1900 it is.

Jon, when do you fly back into Wellington (I mean what time) cause if 16's active I can watch you land from my house! I'm back Dude, didn't see this message until now. Arrived just after 3 in a 1900D on 34. Got heaps of photos of the flight I will share a bit later, some good cockpit shots.

Wheres the Stearman? non in those photos

Beautiful unspoilt scenery, its shots like that that remind me why I love >nzflag<

yea it was Thompsonfly B767 Thanks. Whent to Auckland to see my Dad land In the cross wind :) Regos anyone ? Nunner

The video showed that there was no wind, prior to touchdown there was a comotion in the cockpit according to witnesses. I'm sure the black box would show that its probably pilot error at least thats the impression I get.
