That was the one I just ordered for my big Lotto win this week. I wasnt too happy with the wood panelling inside (almost looked like plywood!!), as you could see in the last pic, so sent it back. Getting it changed to purple crushed velour as I'd asked for.  PS always enjoy your pics Ykato, keep up the good work! |

Did anyone get a photo of Taylor Swifts 40 million dollar beast at Auckland, apparently it was in Queenstown on Sunday night.

I had to look up to see who Taylor Swift was. I saw that N15Y machine at Wellington today, nice piece of kit.

Yes, I think you are right Ykato, cheers. I saw N15Y at WN and thought it was a rather swish aeroplane, so must be someone else with a lot of dosh.

I saw a piece on 60 Minutes the other day about Taylor Swift. Quite a good girl. I had heard her name a few times but have never heard her music, not into country music nor teen crap. But she's a very nice person it seems from the report, which is nice to see in a celebrity these days.
I reckon Taylor Swift sounds like a type of aeroplane.

N898TS is definitely hers... watched her board it the other day, had to have one of the girls in the tower point out which one she was!! But apparently she has 3 of them!!

She likes her privacy. Very big dollars on improptu public photos.
She is doing alright for a 22yo... I have a 14yo daughter so I get forced to listen to here occasionally...

Hamilton to LAX is a bit of a stretch for a 550, probably right at max range cruise of about 0.8 Mach. The Falcon 900 spoken about is a 900B, one of the elder statesman of the 900 series, much nicer to fly than the 550 though....a lot quieter up front and much more "pointy" when it comes to putting it where you want.....the 550 is a truck by comparison, almost twice the weight and twice the fuel burn for a narrower cabin with only a marginal advantage in payload.

Thanks Ykato, a quick check shows they averaged right around 0.8 Mach as I suspected, 12hrs up front in a 550 is a loooooong time, much nicer back in the bosses office.

What do you mean a 'good girl'? From the interview I saw on 60 Minutes it was apparent that she has a good girl image, clean cut, nice etc. But the image is surprisingly not fake like most people in showbusiness, she actually seems to be a genuinely nice, caring, thoughtful girl. She really cares about her fans, goes out of her way for a lot of people and seems to be a good person. I respect that. I wouldn't buy her music but I'd buy her a beer. |

She sounds a little more like a Pepsi Max girl, Dave!!
