Looks like you really had the approach nailed in the first shot, I think I need to have another lesson in the circuit perfecting it. What aeroplane are you flying?

The third shot is awesome, thanks for posting man! :clap:

A 172 at 13100' took forever and a day to get there, then we decided to open the windows for the fresh air.... :clap:

Same 100 hour old G-1000 equipped 182 as before.

Interesting; Ardmore Flying School or Auckland Aero Club or other? I might know you.

AFS, but occasionally drink at the aero club

Hey, so am I, I've probably seen you around somewhere.

I'm doing CPL theory at the moment, going to get all the theory out of the way first before I start flying. (I have done a few lessons though)

definitely not the only aircraft taking a detour over the ship today

by **h290master** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 5:49 pm

I saw there was quite a few aircraft around the city today checking out the Queen Mary II, aslo saw a few piper cubs

by **kiwiflyboy** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 5:55 pm

There were a lot of aircraft with banners in tow, with the devonport wine and food fest on today/tonight and then the jazz and food fest in mission bay on tonight also, so i thought it would be best to go down to 500' from the city to coromandel, just to avoid the weekend warriors..... :lol:

Well my own trip fell through at the last moment, so thanks for posting!
Last of the ocean liners, she's so much more elegant than the cruise ships.
Wow Auckland sure has a buzz at the moment.

Thanks for posting, I went down to the harbor last night to see the firework display and the QM2 departing, and there sure where heaps of choppers flying about, just like there were all the banner towers during the day!

After only seeing the ship at night (crap photo attatched below), I really hoped to see a piccy of it from during the day, and from the air is even better! Thanks for posting

By the way, does anyone know why it was moored at Jellico wharf rather than Princes Wharf- most of the liners usually go to Princes', (which is empty in 1st photo kiwiflyboy) and I can't understand why the worlds biggest had to go to a container termainal... :blink:

A 172 at 13100' took forever and a day to get there

Geez that must have taken forever... Did you take oxygen?

According to the Herald lead in story last week, that's exactly the reason...too big to fit!

We got to 13500' (the service ceiling for the mighty 172)....... Oxygen, mmmmmmm....... :rolleyes:

Hypoxia is just a urban legend to scare people (well below the flight levels)
