Just a select few.

My fabled ZK-SJB - finally I have your picture.

A close up of the wing edge

Nah wasnt me. Thats George, he was the guy who I flew down to Dunedin with.

by **Kelburn** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 7:14 pm

He gave me a fright a few times when he put on the siren to scare away the birds.

Is that all, George likes to use the shotgun!

I must say he was happily driving around.
The siren kept on going.
It gave me a fright as I thought I was in trouble for where I was standing (not sure how legal it was)
Are you allowed to go behind the runway considering that there is now a run-up barrier thing, and the new tunnel?

by **chopper_nut** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 8:13 pm

Yeah you can walk around there all you like. What you cant do is drive around up there. It infringes the takeoff and landing fans. People are frangible, cars are not.

dont take this the wrong way... but I found this a little disturbing

I have this image from some thriller/psycho movie or something, with some stalker rubbing his hands and cackling!

yeah I must agree it does sound weird, but every time except once me and ZKTOM have been to the airport (he wasn't there this time) we have seen ZK-SJB (often it's left NZWN and returned just before we leave) and I didn't get a picture at all!
So now I have it.

Haha, reminds me of the thing Jimmy had with ZK-OJO. Both ex-Freedom Air planes!

Nice snaps Tui
