Anyone want a Beaver quickie?

A quick job this morning for Robinson just south of New Plymouth, needed some super spread on a small hill block on her property. Nice job to kick off the week, 0.5. Buzzed farmhouse on way in, rather good-looking lady that Mrs Robinson!

Just a bit of fun with John Woodward's FS2004 Beaver, quickly repainted as Fieldair's ZK-AZB....NZ's first ag Beaver now on its way back to NZ from Australia. Welcome back, Zulu Bravo!


EDIT have added the "goose" and played around with the underside of the ailerons, but can't seem to find the file for the top. Will make this available for download when this is fixed.

Not NZ's first Ag Beaver, the 3rd actually. Rural had one and James had one before AZB which was Lawson Field's first one. AXK was Rural's first one and AVL went to James. Both crashed in the 1950's, both fatal.

Thought I may as well post these- They are a few years old from when i was working with EBOP data (2m mesh, 40cm imagery)

That scenery is simply stunning Timmo. Really nice work. Where is that?

That is Whakatane Dave- It really is nice data isn't it? The digital terrain model I created from Lidar data (a very accurate/dense laser based air-ground measurement system), then draped some high resolution aerials over it and annotated it with the trees/buildings etc.

I was able to use this data since I worked at Environment Bay of Plenty for a number of years.....trying to get similar data from other councils is often like trying to get blood from a stone. This is a real shame IMO....especially since it is public data, paid for by the public

I thopught it might be Whakatane, but wasn't certain, as I've never seen the real place from the air either. My other guess was Ohope.
