Flying Pictures
     

 


At the airport...

That's me & my dad under the porch there. Behind us is a Qantas 747 - in the old livery.
My first ever photograph with a plane. I was just 3 years old.

Air New Zealand 747-200
Me on the flight deck of the Air NZ 747. I got to sit in for a jump seat landing.
My first ever flight.
12th March 1994.

Went flying in a Cessna 152, and loved every second of it!
Virgin Blue - Keeping the air fair
One of the new 737-800 series at the international terminal, before VB were flying out of the ex-Ansett space. Saw it the other day - I liked it better when Ansett was there.
New Zealand Alps
That's me on the left, flying in an 8-seater chopper to a slope high up on Mt Cook. We played in the snow for a while before coming back down. Helicopters are weird to get used to after planes!
Houses
This was taken (with great difficulty!) out of the window of an Aerobat. I was using a disposable camera, and the flight was a little bumpy, but this came out a beauty!
VH-CZM
Ex-Ansett 737, when operated by the airline. This was the last time I ever photographed an Ansett aircraft, and now I'm so glad I got such great close pictures!
QF 744
A not very clear shot of a Qantas 747-400 flying over the river on approach to the airport.
What NOT to do on your flying test...
Supposedly done by a guy who wasn't watching where his props were. Oops!
Just what I like to see...
...a gal in a plane.
Count those stripes, baby!
Nothin I like better than a lady pilot, and one who's Captain - even better!
Ansett Wings
I plan to buy some of these next time they crop up on eBay.
VH-RME
I have this exact model of the Ansett 767 in old livery. Going up in value since it's now discontinued.
What the REALLY get up to...
a few years back, chances were it was because they were letting some kid fly *wink wink*
