This is all i could salvage from the grumpy camera





































And the rental ... I really didn't want to give this back ...

[Aviator 1]

Love the props on the A400 and the prop spiral effect on take off. I wished I got a rental car like that. The last I got was in Hamilton and I ended up with a Nissan blue bird. My next trip I am hoping to try the Tesla at green cars

Fab set of pics Marty, thanks for sharing dude. Also love the props on the A400. Quite a machine. Also love that one from the ass end of the after-burners

BLOODY GRUMPY Camera , Superb ! .. not much to those 787 Engines for all the power they produce .

[Splitpin]

Thanks guys ... really sorry the in flight stuff didn't happen.
Really need more practice with the cam.

One thing after the 1988 Australian Bi-centennial airshow I said I'd rather watch the show rather through a vid camera lens .. tho even now after edited if shows I knew exactly what to shoot for. ... eyeballs first ... so you got to see the best part!

"I wished I got a rental car like that."
Got it for a good rate ... 2016 model, only had 12,000k on the clock.
3.6 litre V6 .... as i said, I didn't want to give it back
Just waiting for the speed camera pics to arrive in the mail

I have driven a lot of cars, but that one was like putting on a shoe that fits just right ... not over the top ... just right.

Electric Airplane!
Deeknow's on the same page obviously... scrolling through I had composed this in my head:
"Dat Eagle's ass sure is da business, no?"

Thanks for posting, Marty - I do wonder what the kerfuffle was about, for the USAF tanker replacement; I mean the Japanese have had their 767 for years?

[Naki]

The USAF 767 tankers are considerably different to the the Japanese (and Italian) 767 tankers

[Charl]

Are they, finally?
I lost track in the corruption scandal when all the Boeing bosses resigned.
The A330 MRTT was the better aircraft but that was never going to happen.

It's a 767-200 fuselage with -400 wings I think

Dinga , "Have to concur with you on the commode ,I drove one down from ChCh to Tekapo"
without wanting to detract from the theme , I'm glad you agree.... I love that car , good on gas as well.
Im sure an XR6 is the same , but Ive always been a fan of the old Lion.

Since getting back , Ive been looking at them on trade me (SV6's) ... man , they hold their price.

[Splitpin]

Sorry to get off track with the car thing.
Thanks for looking gents ... Again, sorry none of the flying shots worked.
