I like this one. Forget about that nice flare on touchdown, I'm diving for the deck! :d

Wow! At about the 1/2 way point...there is a 747 landing....very interesting seeing just how much the wings flex and wobble.

Yep that's the truth

The number of times on departure I've been routed up through the Hutt Sector in strong northerly winds in a light aircraft.

Not that comfortable for my passengers.

Why do Russian sites always take so long to load pages .... I gave up with this one so I guess I will never know.

lolol...

Great shots.

I love that chain wind sock. Brilliant...

I have flown into Nelson and Wellington many times in FS in multi-player with a NZ friend, real weather on. Once, he tried like 4 times to take off, and each time, he was plastered against a hanger, wings flat (vertical) up against a hanger door. It was the funniset thing I had seen in ages. I laughed so hard I was crying. He finally got airborn...

Some great fun flying hops from Nelson to Wellington...
