Good times and good photos. Some degree of jealousy here but then again I could have gone up ...

The USAF didn't have a KC 130 there. They did have a KC 135 Paul ;) .. Movie props :D

It is time someone did a Nanchang for flight sim I know someone did start one a couple of years ago but it never saw the light of day. I have had quite a few hrs in the back seat of the Nanchang a couple of them doing aerobatics and a few doing formation practice real good fun. Agreed! I searched highand low for one, but couldn't find one. It's a good looking aircraft and well worth doing, IMHO. Adam.

I share a hangar with it - it is under repair. Cheers Leo

That is a Safety thing , I thought the ejector seat was disarmed years ago due to a ruling and flown with special consent.

I saw it on the news putting out the fires, I thought it looked and sounded like a huey. Really, Really miss the Huey I use to hear them nearly every day.

... don't people "rescue" their pile of junk found somewhere in the UK or wherever, and send it to the Real Experts at Ardmore to fix?? Thinking about it Charl , that is one other place that did have a Bristol on the airfield ... course you are completely correct , Gawd ! be interesting to see the list of aircraft rebuilt there the list would be huge!

Great for the confirm Lucky Lindy. I did not see any markings .. thought it was just the light ..

That would be it then, Thanks Steve , the good practice one in flight sim is the PMDG 737 .

On the ramp all at the same time A320, A330, A340, A350, A380 is that an Airbus flush? Trip ya up .. ARBUSTED again what happened to the A360 and A370 ?

The Pretty 747-800 is longer than the UGBUST , be great to see more 74's back in Christchurch 800's YES ! B-)

I may just hit you up for that Ian :cheers: I have promotions manager mailing me regard to artwork of the two flying boats, I sent MOTAT samples of my artwork last year, I can't see any reason why we cannot get extra special pass's for a tour of both boat, try for the Lancaster, maybe also , when if planning I'll will see what I can do this end :)

This to me is really sounds .. like why Don't ya simply eye the, use your real eyeballs, go out there.

Andrew ? museum or is it going to be parts ? ... guess any place that would take it would be MOTAT .. be better to stick it inside somewhere, Ashburton would be ideal swap and bring old BXE back to Wigram, get work done on that and bring it back up to RNZAF standard , thus saving both .... BUT I'm certain it will head offshore.

Ole PMDG must had a good scrape of cash when they released the 1900 eight years back, crikey even I brought one, they weren't exactly the prettiest aircraft were they.

There's 11 classics and 14 new ones. They haven't started retiring them yet I think it's next year it starts. I have been told but I can't remember

It's just departed, flew over the house, and if you get bored this rainy day in CHC you could try and copy their flight
