Title: Where I Live...
Post by: Vulcan on July 03, 2001, 06:40:00 AM

First off, a couple of NZ WBs:

Second off, the airport where I (and Spatula) have to GRIP the seats like it was our last breath:

A word of explanation, Wellington airport has a nasty habit of picking up crosswinds  :) so if you ever come to my part of the world, I'll be the bastard parked on the hill laffin at the poor salamanders puking all over the tarmac (unless we're scrapin em of it again!).

Cool videos Vulcan. Enjoyed em both and the last one reminded me of some crosswind landings in a 152 I did at Meacham airport with close to 15knots comming across the runway. At the design limit of the airplane. Sure was glad I had a good instructer with me...

The NZFPM website has very nice up-close flight photos of Hans Ditte's 109G10!!!!!  They are under "Photo Galeries" in the Warbirds over Wanaka 1996 section.

Fans of the 109 go see them soon, great stuff.

I've been in your country 2 years ago and it is beautiful. I visited the Wanaka museum and took a 30min ride with "Miss Torque", a 1945 two-seater P-51D Mustang. The instructor did almost everything you can do with a Mustang ... ahhh yes, we buzzed the tower at about 250mph as well  :)
