Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Pictures of my Australia/New Zealand/Asia trip 09/10 LARGE!!

Post by E-R-I-C »

On 13th October 2009 I started my 8 months backpack trip towards Australia/New Zealand/Fiji and South East Asia.
I arrived back on the 10th of June, didn't have any time to check my aviation pictures. But now the days are getting darker I've found some time to share. I will share some more of my trip.

Thanks!

The second set of pictures certainly beats the first! Much more interesting planes if you ask me, please show more of that exotic stuff.

Very nice - I usually take the Air NZ ATR-72 or Q-300 from WLG to go to work in HLZ, so I may even have been aboard one of those :D

Good catch with that Chatams Convair, they are only at WLG certain days in the month. Did you also get some shots of the Air Freight NZ Convairs and the DHL 727 at AKL?

Flown CHC-WLG onboard ZK-MCA ATR72-500 ANZ Link. Nice flight!

Seen the Cargo Convairs but no pictures, due darnkness and bad parking positions. Also seen the DHL 727 but some problems :(

Please note: all the pictures posted are straigt from my camera via an hosting site on this forum. NO photoshop!
