Its sad to see NBS like this... she was the first 747 i have ever traveled on

If you look closely you may see a cri-cri

Damn it, I missed your call this morning.

Great photos, looks like I missed a really good day.

Pah! Mass produced and common, they only built 703 of our cars.

And who's that looking confused in the left seat of the Dak?

pssst.......just quietly it's "Harbour" and "Rangitoto" ;D

Great shots Alex... next time we meet, can you say I'm Alex as I still can't put a face to your name, even though I'm sure we have met a few times.

That was an interesting flight... you might notice from you last shot that we were on a close base for 05... that's because I had to slip in front of the A380.....

Not everyday you hear ...Emerites.XXX follow a Dakota on finals! Talk about pressure not to screw up the landing and send that thing around!

Cheers

Ah always next time.... always happy to be supporting the dc3.
yeah I saw the A380 as I got back onto the ramp, everybody was excitedly talking about it and taking photo's, I thought ah old hat now

.
One thing I thought was funny was they had a mock up 737 cockpit and you could get your photo taken in it .... ah no thanks I can and have done it in real thing ;D ;D ;D
