[DH164]

Fella in the Cirrus almost landed on Mr. L's house! Sheesh, he might as well have asked for a flying lesson!

[VH-XXX]

This aircraft is *special* in a number of ways....

Does anyone else out there know what it's used for, how it's flown and where it is from?

[Desert Flower]

CASA aircraft register lists CIG as a PA-28??????

DF.

[Oracle1]

Natural Gas

Does it run on natural gas?

[VH-XXX]

Oh DF.... . That was intentional, otherwise I may as well just tell you what it's all about....

Oracle, good guess based on the extra equipment however it's not for that reason. There are two reasons for the muffler and they have nothing to do with performance or the engine itself.

Pretty poor photoshop job...


Maybe not VH-CIG but VH-EIG?
Some sort of aerial mapping/cartography?

Yeah 2Dogs is on the money. It's Google or Apple or one of those mobs.

Turbo charged for high altitude, muffler for noise over towns and to remove exhaust gases from the path of the camera.

[Ultralights]

used for photography, exhaust is modified so exhaust gasses do not distort the images taken through the bottom of the aircraft.

Location

Hey XXX,
how about extra points for the location!

[spinex]

Couple from Evans Head this weekend, fortunately they seem to have appeased the weather gods this year.

Other then that....

[VH-XXX]

Who was it that said an SR22 would be "easy" to fly around the world?

[ranmar850]

Cook Strait, looking towards Wellington.

Air New Zealand A320.

Malborough Sounds

yes, both right--I know it wasn't hard, thought the "All-Black" colours might be a giveaway. Interesting at the weather difference across the straight, and how the low cu outlines the North Is. coastline.

That's a flock of sheep innit? They can't swim across the strait?

[Ultralights]

NVFR, and a new camera lens, F1.4







Talk to the controllers real nicely, and they will let you fly anywhere..
