VH-KDK Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I have never heard of this airport on the North Island before but I am going to fly from Notlimah to Wellington. 1. Getting ready at Notlimah to give the freeware Falcon a first flight. 2. Despite being a quiet small town there is still plenty of security. 3. Passing Pirongia Mountain and the Pirongia Forest Park. 4. Over Waitomo with Kawhia Harbour in the distance 5. The Tongariro NP with Mount Ruapehu. 6. Looking forwards to a nice picturesque run down the South Taranaki Bight but thick clouds scuppered that idea. 7. Just one small break in the clouds to catch a glimpse of Otaki. 8. Westpac Stadium at Lambton Harbour. 9. A successful ILS approach and a nice landing. 10. Another very pleasing freeware plane to go with the hundreds of others. I hope you enjoyed this flight.

flyingleaf Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Very nice shots Martyn. Lovely area. That looks like a nice jet. Way too nice for the Mule Team passengers. These guys love the abuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hey Martyn. The Dassault has a wonderfully sinister covert presence to it. I have no doubt that there are highly trained operatives aboard ready to stride off the plane into equally sinister SUVs and head toward the bad guys' secret installation on the coast. Bwa Haa Haa!

Stillwater Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Fantastic plane and shots, Martyn, but I don´t like the spring weather down there!

Cheers Rodger, you were very close in your assumption and now time to spill the beans.

So many people say that, but I never noticed. What would happen if you are in a plane while crossing the equator? Will the water change its way of circulation? We´ll need to find out!

VH-KDK Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 It is the Coriolis force Gerold, caused by the rotation of the earth. It would be interesting crossing the equator but the cabin crew would be upset with you occupying the cubicle for a long time and also wasting the valuable water.
