CHC airport looks nice and surroundings are just gorgeous: hills and lot's of trees - looks quite 'provincial' Glad you enjoyed it Uncle Pieter! The hills you saw in the pictures are the well known Southern Alps in the South Island of NZ. In winter when there is snow on the alps it can be a nice touch to a photo. Perhaps one day you can come visit CHC and have a spotting session? Continuing... As the clouds began to roll in, suddenly out came something...'Who could it be....?" It's none other than LeeCH's lovely toy 777! It's SMOOKKIINN! Just lovely... Lovely again... Victor India coming for visit Never miss a photo opportunity with the Trent! ...or the butt (or tail)! Not to be outdone by the visiting Singaporean, both Qantas and Air NZ are racing out to get some attention... Stay tuned for more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ricky Tiong 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) Chan, don't worry. Ever since Air NZ pulled out their B747 services in CHC, B777 (or maybe A345) is as big as it gets in CHC too. In CHC you can never run out of these guys... Another type of prop This poor guy may be broken down...been sitting at a remote stand since I got there... At this point I decided to try a different spot... Upon getting there I was met with two fences. The first one was just a short fence but the second one was higher and just 50m in front of me! The end result... Then a 4-holer decided to come in for a visit The Arab floating in gently... I present to you EK A345 and THE Fence And again, we have the lovely fence...

Tony 1 Report post Posted November 17, 2006 Ricky, The ROW of fence isn't as bad as the occasional Lamp Posts you get in Sydney. <_> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky Tiong 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2006 Ricky, The ROW of fence isn't as bad as the occasional Lamp Posts you get in Sydney. I guess at every airport there is always something a spotter dislikes. In CHC we can drive up to the fences (except this spot) and either shoot through the fences or perhaps bring a ladder or stool to stand on. The most convenient spot to spot in CHC is still the open air observation deck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Ong 1 Report post Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) Starting off with some Qantas NZ B733: Anyone like a head? Where there is a head, there must be a tail to go with it. Heading off to Raj and SV's place **OFF TOPIC** This aircraft was in an QANTAS commerial that asks to see Australia play at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Soccer in Germany. It shows ZK-JNB heading to the aerobridge gate and a FIFA soccer coach that tells the pilots that -JNB's nose gear is on the line.
