Well done Ian.
The Boeing "Model 717" as apposed to the "Boeing 717" was indeed the company name for what became the legendary C-135 family. The "Boeing 717" on the other hand was the company name for the old McDonnell Douglas DC9/MD80 family after the aquisition of McD.

In keeping with the NZ theme and given that ANZAC day has just past - Who was the first New Zealand Fighter ace ?? For a bonus point what was the ironic circumstance about his death ??

by **chopper_nut** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 8:49 pm

Thomas Culling I think it was. He was a pilot in the RNAS.

...and he was the first NZ air ace to die in action

Righto, another Kiwi one here. The famous ZK-HOT. How many helicopters have worn this rego and what is the rego of the first 'HOT' now. For a bonus point, who owns it?

by **Timmo** » Thu May 01, 2008 1:04 pm

10 Helos have worn the HOT/Hotel Oscar Tango rego all of them Hughes 269's. The first registration was on the 5-8-1983 to the Alpine Fighter Collection.

The original HOT is now IDD owned by Deaker Cyril Richard P O Box 200 TE ANAU. It changed from HOT to IDD on the 15-08-2006

Its all on the CAA website...its quite cool (in a geeky way) I.e. History of the Helicopter now known as Hot

by **Naki** » Thu May 01, 2008 9:43 pm

Weren't they all 369s (ie Hughes 500s) not 269s? HOT is owned by Alpine Heliocopters but more specifically Tim and then Toby Wallis?? The current HOT is a 500E.
