They just showed this flying off the Port Hills at the start of the weather on TV3 news. Looked good!

YAY- We have at least 2 viewers, our weekend ratings have doubled  I was very tempted to add an appropriate sound effect in live to air tonight but I don't think the director would have been too impressed. |

Very cool! Oh to hear the sound of freedom again... It was certainly big. Did it survive the landing?

Stu, I ALWAYS watch TV3 news.
I hate what TVNZ's newsteam has become over the past few years, so pompous and up themselves, and their presenters are driven towards gaining their ratings through women's tabloid magazines rather than reporting news. TV3's coverage is always more balanced and usually has more information, less political angle. Plus TV3 seems to always have better aviation news content, both in quantity and accuracy of reporting.
Keep up the very good work.
(PS - I prefer as the best news source, as well as entertainment, National Radio - intelligent and with no adverts!)

Stu, I ALWAYS watch TV3 news. Just a moment of jaded cynicism on my behalf brought on by having to sit in a darkened control room in the bowels of a building on a nice fine weekend. Not helped by watching ZK-DAK fly over the harbour bridge as I trundled into work and reminding me where my true passion lay Back on topic, truly a great model and very impressive to watch. I've heard that the only damage was to the tail which broke on landing. |
