The pilots were earning their pay those days.

Wellington is windy, that's for sure! My kiwi friends call it Welly in the Roarin' 40's. Great town though - probably my favorite city in NZ. Great New Zealand museum called the Te Papa is there - also some of the finest Kiwi men reside in that city. Not like you male people care about that, but thought I'd pass that along to the gals.

I'm glad you like the NZ men. I spent two weeks on the North Island, the women were not too much to write home about.

DoJet, did you spend anytime in Wellington? I thought it was one of the most cultured places in New Zealand. Through my American friends who were over there working on Lord of The Rings, I met some really nice kiwi guys (and gals)

Nope, didn't make it there. Was going to a wedding so that chewed up alot of time. Then the standard stuff; Aukland, Piha beach, Maraetai beach, Rotorua, Wataimo caves, Agridome, Devonport, Animal Conservatory.

Nice job by the taildragger And, did you notice the wheelbarrow landing by the BAe-146? Maybe a little too much airspeed?
