Looking good Ian, is that you in the front cockpit?

[Ian Warren]

Might be Don and you having having a ride around New Zealand s Taranaki coast

Nice screenshots! And great to see that the RNZAF has managed to buy something resembling a light combat aircraft...lol I know they are not armed, but at least they look aggressive in that black scheme...

[jmbiii]

Might there be a place to get that paint, Ian ?

[dharris]

Ian, I would ride with you anytime, just don't "paint yourself into a corner". Looking forward to the "Connies"!

[Daveroo]

great shots and paint..but wouldnt black be hard to see by the masses at an airshow?..or am i missing the point?..........sorry.

I have that very thought , "something resembling a light combat aircraft" almost embarrassing, one ex-RNZAF now airline pilot and warbird owner said on the TV news media "New Zealand had become the scabs of the Pacific".

Better than our CT-4Es painted up like bumble bees but now the Red Checkers have been disbanded the Air Force are stumped for a new team display name - figured since the Blackbird as we all no is a little cheeky would be an ideal name for the team - saves them painting them Pink .... This is not a paint off mine, @ jmbiii this come with the IRIS Texan II open beta package

Still working on the ocean affects , just needed a break and a little play time

Understandable and agree. Getting in to much of a hurry will usually result in inferior work, yours does not fall in that catagory, thanks Don

I also got a little tied up after the fella I taught squashed his foot, that would have to hurt , so a company come to me to set a few machines .. funny ... I swore I'd never return to engineering but its good just to walk in set and go home.
