NZFF

Had a couple of 1900s over the last few days from the North .. I was wondering its starting point , guessing Nelson.

Yes I went and should outside to try a see it but it was dark and there was low cloud. It did something odd when it took off, it banked left at maybe 800ft. I thought it was going to out over the city. On flight radar it said it was turning back, sure enough it came back on the standard departure and flew over our house. Weird. Would have liked to seen it, all we get is A320 and B738.

See even Doug speaks in Ianglish .. OrIan :P

Bit of a bustup between the owners so I've been told

The Fokker was the first plane I ever flew in, I asked to move to a different seat as I was worried if the prop came loose it would cut right through my seat. That's a funny one Lawrence , you are a funny bugger :lol:

Like me both you guys would have grown up with the Sunday morning Kids stories on radio .. TV was only starting.

Listening to all the screaming, crying.... ...and "praying"... Would have been my worst nightmare on a journey like that. Nothing modifies my brain more than listening to a female(s) screaming!... :blink: ..! Paul.... :wink2: ...!

Don't discount Auckland. That is good to know will keep in mind! Hey Flamer, Just to get you up to speed here Towerguy is an ATC at Auckland Tower, he mentioned he is partial to a biscuit....

would say you are at approx 38'51.15.00" S 175'26.10.00" E Pretty much spot on- the flight was NZPM to NZAR. Well done :clap:

Very sad indeed , but , as Nick said , we just have to wait for the final report. I really feel for the families of all of them.
