Thought I would share with this board some modern day RNZAF aircraft pics I took at Wanaka. They're not that great but I guess worth sharing..       Cheers, TNZ |

Those photo's bring back some fantastic memories.
I have NEVER seen aircraft of that size displayed the way they were.
Just wish I had had the camera ready when the P-3 banked directly in front of the grandstand at Wanaka - I swear I could see every rivet!
The high-speed pass and near vertical climb by the Boeing was absolutely amazing, just wish they would let your guys fly like that when they come to Fairford, but alas no, the authorities are afraid someone might sue them if they dropped their ice-cream!

Thanks, peoples !!  Here's a shot of the 757 going hell for leather past us...prob doing 350-400 knots. Was hard to capture as it was really moving. BUT...wasn't as spectacular as the 727 doing the same in 2002 !!!   TNZ |

and the 757 pulling away into the clouds. This isn't a great quality photo but it really does display the effectiveness of the drab grey camouflage.  Cheers TNZ |
