Hi Gang,

Am in awesome new zealand. Saw this little blighter outside the US Antartic Program Headquarters

Plus here's a couple of some fun in the snow, high in the New Zealand Mountains, across the valley from Mt Cook.

The Hercules shot is very dramatic.
High mountain heli operations? I'm envy!

Great shots, especially the Herc.

Did you happen to get a shot of the hangar? If so, I'd love to see how this one compares.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Thanks.

They did a good job with the scenery. I'm assuming that is the rear.

why did you have to take it quickly... does the US have issues with you taking photos of their hangar???

Carriers would be so mush easier to land on if they would just stop turning!!!
