Just to showcase the Alphasim Harvard in the RNZAF scheme, here it is giving the Flying School a low pass.

Very nice, very nice indeed!

What is that building with the red and white checkerboard roof? That isn't there in real life these days...

If I recall there is a sign on it saying Auckland Flying Club.

That is the present day position of Ardmore Helicopters if I recall correctly. Kiwiflyboy or Flyingkiwi will be able to confirm

Im pretty sure its still checkered...

Actually that pass almost ended in disaster, I was considering asking for a table for two at the Flying School!

Thats more like it, by my definition of a beat up that altitude is about right.

The trick is to hit pause just before you crash

Ahh I see, so my way of closing my eyes and hauling the stick back is not the proper way? :lol:

Nice screenie, nice model (although the wings look too thick?), and nice repaint...

...but the Kiwis, which look accurate, are facing the wrong way on the wings - beak forward, feet towards the fuselage is the way.

Sorry for nitpicking

Thats correct I learned that when I did my first RNZAF F-16 skin.

by **SUBS17** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 10:16 am

Try to get this skin, it has them facing the right way.

I am pretty sure that the building next to the checkered roof build is Ardmore helicopters as me and my father have have used Ardmore helicopters for aerial photograpy.

Just as a postscript, the author has released a fix for his textures, which now has the roundels properly orientated.
