Ain't that a pretty sight! You're definitely gonna have to get ALL the Jets at some point!

Is it just me or does the dragonfly look like a squashed down strikemaster?

Is it just me or does the dragonfly look like a squashed down strikemaster? Or is a Strikemaster just a dragonfly with a few more middle age pounds around the waist? |

In a dive with the throttle wide open were we? ;D She was getting along "level" at 155 knots and we flew a profile that made things a bit easier for the jets but it must feel a bit weird flying in machines like that at only 155 knots.  |

Is it just me or does the dragonfly look like a squashed down strikemaster? I've always thought that, from as far back as when I was old enough to tell them apart (around 5  ). |

Is the Tweet still based at Ardmore or am I right in remembering it may have moved to Tauranga to live?

Superb shots guys, I can imagine the CHT on the havard as being on the warm side...and the Prop noise would be creating enough noise to reduce the induced drag on the jets.
would be interested to know what the relative fuel flows are between each jet.....and all we need now is for someone to buy an A4, and fly it :-)
