Thats Ian just being normal

Thanks goodness for you guys and your forum, I was just getting ready to go get a good possy down at the airport, looks like I can stay at home in the warm tonight. I was struggling to find somewhere to get flight info from, I should have looked in my own backyard sooner. Thanks NZFF

Seemed to be a few others out there as well, anyone from NZFF?

Yeah I spent the entire day yesterday waiting out there for it to arrive. Ended up back out there again this morning to get a few pics as well, not as good as yours mind you. My camera is only a cruddy run of the mill.

[Splitpin]

No such thing as a cruddy a/c pic .... thanks very much for taking the time
