Actually wasn't sure whether to post night shots, especially un-edited, but it is something different.


I downloaded this B52 this evening and wanted to try it out.


This flight was from Whenuapai Military in NZNI over-flying Lord Howe to transition past Sydney and down the coast (-sh) before tracking slightly inland to a night VFR landing at Nowra Military.


And I'm afraid, yes, I cheated a little and used "accelerated time"!


 


Here we go then...

Thanks for looking, and I know it was hard to see some of the detail in these, but like I said: something different...


 


Cheers and Good Night :)
