Paraparaumu Airport

[JonARNZ]

I was at paraparaumu today for a drivers training course, should I take my camera? Nah, better focus on the days events. WRONG ANSWER!

We had to move through the aero clubs area to the closed part of the runway we used for the driving, so I got to see up close and personal all the 152's and 172's, a Maule (that one blew me away, it looks just like the one in FSX ) and a few others. I was not a happy chappy, but very happy at the same time if you know what I mean.

The driving was fun, the aviation even better, now to download the images from my brain if I can figure out where I plug the USB cable into my head.

oh yes I know that feeling, so much harder to enjoy the pretty aircraft when ya so pissed off about not having a camera...


looking forward to the pictures once you find the usb port, they should be good

Exactly, when I'm at my dads place I have to drive past the airport to get to work, oh the temptation...

I get that Wish-I-had-a-camera feeling often. I even saw ZK-TJL (the aeroplane) sitting RIGHT there next to the aero club in Nelson, but alas no camera!!!
