787

A place for 'real world' pilots and aviation enthusiasts to discuss their hobby

Seven hundred and eighty seven posts, and in keeping with my Boeing theme of posting images of the aircraft my post milestone number reflects, I give you......umm, well not a 787. Bit of a let down really, but the 787 was always a hiding to nothing until it flies. At least Air New Zealand have had the good sense to order another 4 of the 9's.

So, I thought these might be of interest. This was what I looked out on one fine Sunday morning at around 6:30 am, don't these chopper pilots sleep?

The quality aint flash, they were taken as still shots through a video camera. Its not often you get to shoot a flying helicopter from above.

Heres one for interest sake, the NZWN ramp many years ago, this is pre B1900D days, note on the Qantas side you can see a couple of Qantas New Zealand Dash 8's and a BAe 146.
