Jack Sawyer Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Today's flight took me from NZPO, overflew NZMS then on to Wellington. For Martyn, and others interested. Today we bring you radio Orbx, all Orbx all the time, commercial free scenery for your flying pleasure. Orbx Global Base, Vector, NZNI & NZSI & NZMF, Trees, FreemeshX, REX TH HD, AS16 & ASCA Full Dynamic, Saitek yoke, two quadrants, & a TPM, Track IR, EZCA, UT2, HDR off, all sliders full right, Buttkicker II, and other goodies from Grandma…AND my shots don't hold a candle to Adam's shots, he gave me the inspiration to explore this beautiful country. Gotta get over this hill, I think I can…I think I can… Near NZMS, don't know the city name. I liked the mood of this shot. Coming into the Wellington area. I wonder if the NZ's version of the FAA would pull my license for flying so low? What is this awesome looking building? It looks burned out. Someone please enlighten me. Can I rent some secure space at that hangar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 I looked it up, it's the parliament building! In real life it too has dark marble. What a cool building and my wife and I looked at all the things to see and do in Wellington. Man I would LOVE to visit, maybe I'll win the lottery tonight, I have a ticket. Then I'd go. Looks to be an awesome city to live in. We don't have anything even remotely like that where I live. I have cows. And hot humid heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 HEY!!!! Gimme my little yellow aeroplane back!!! Fantastic/epic series of posts. So great to see another NZ fan!!! Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Wonderful set Jack and the red one is faster than the yellow one. Just to add that building is also known as The Beehive! Wellington is apparently very windy and has had earthquakes but it is never too hot. If you like sheep New Zealand is a great place to live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This plane and NZ were made for each other. Arrgh - sorry - bad wording on my part! It's because I've become rather attached to *your* little Staggerwing -after seeing it star in so many pics. I was sorry to see it go! Great pics - great scenery - regardless of plane colour! I have to agree yellow goes great with the NZ landscape. *My* personal favourite "yellow" NZ-compatible aircraft is the A2A T-6 Texan/Harvard - NZ1078, which I've deluged the forums with! Adam.

Jack Sawyer Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hi Adam! Haven't seen you on the forums lately. My yellow Staggerwing flights are far from over, I have the SI yet to fly in my little yellow plane. I remember now, yeah, your yellow Texan!
