Anyone going to BBT 06 at the Auckland Showgrounds this weekend?

I have heard that they have the worlds three most powerfull simulators on display this year?

Last year I remember seeing plenty of fs2004 on certain screens, in the Westpac Rescue stand, and the VR Concepts stand too.

i don't think i'll bother. it seems to be the same crud every year. in fact, the only things that interest me are the simulators

Me and the two pilots from work are going up to BBT's on friday morning stopping at ardmore on the way back to check out some new machines should be a good day.

I went to BBT back in 2004. It was alright, but I'm not really the guy to go OOO and AHH over things. I get the same thrill from looking at pictures of nice cars,

Auckland is too far away anyway, and since im the only person in the family who even close to wants to go, I dont think I'll be there.

Ive never seen the simulators. Perhaps because when I went last time, I wasnt into flight sim?

Well guys day 1 of BBT's was absolutely wicked there werent too many people around and most of all the view was great all the pics I was going to post are innapropriate for the younger members of these forums so we wont go there so I will say one last thing if you are planning on going do it if not to see the cars or toys go for the girls (

Day 2 was just as good, bit overcrowded but fun nevertheless...

NZ Army put on a rather nice performance, seeing LAV's on 4 wheels was rather impressive!

As with squirrel350, I have far too many innapropiate pics... :rolleyes:

Man those Xbox 360 girls were fantastic!!! Geeez! :drool:

All in all good show, Westpac Rescue Chopper stand rather dissapointing tho, meh.

Good times, and great scenery...

hahaha they sure were KAG had a special photo taken with them and a kiss on the cheek to seal the deal.

I too was highly disappointed with ARHT's sim although the BK-117 they were using was a fairly stable model from what I saw I couldnt be bothered jumping in.

i went with a bunch of friends today. enjoyed the crusty demons, and was impressed by the ps3 graphics.
pity to see the smashed team kiwi v8 supercar, but interesting to have a good look at the damage

You lucky lucky man!!! Any chance of a pic thru PM?? I got a few covert ones

As with Westpac, it wasnt so much there sim (which Ive done before and when its fully set up its quite cool. They have more screens that they attach on for a complete cockpit), it was just their set up, I wanted to talk to someone about their new chopper but there was no one suitable.

The Chopper flies well, Ive got it on my sim. They have repainted it a bit tho. Its on www.hovercontrol.com if you want it, along with the Police Eagle...
