What you got electricity over there?
Here is me thinking you just put a bit of whale oil on a few sheep and set fire to them!
You know tossa that would be quite funny, but NZ ****s all over this stupid country when it comes to their Regulator and the ATC system.

Example, AirNZ wanted to fly ATR's into Paraparaumu, a small GA airfield north of WGTN. Low capacity RPT. Well CAA would not let them until Air Services manned the control tower.

Come to this side of the Tasman...antiquated regulations that defy improvement, high capacity RPT going into CTAF's and landing on 30m wide runways, millions spent on radar systems that don't quite allow for CTA into Hobart and Launy, Class D aerodromes where they see you on radar and ping you if you get a mile off course, but are 'unable to provide separation'...

Yeah, those kiwis have done pretty well with their whale oil.
