Epic Fail with the Jungle Jet at NZHN

Hi all

Man this blog's a mess!!! I kinda screwed up with the photos of Whenuapai where I finished scanning them, posted them on Flickr, copied the links here, realised they looked horrid, edited them all in picnic, then realised it broke all the links here, furthemore realised I'd been using the scanning software wrong and need to rescan them now I've got the thing under control. And I kinda gave up on the reposting.. Also I have WAC open day photos I meant to post..

Anyway, this should keep you going.. Pacific Blue brought their Jungle Jet, aka Embraer 190 to Hamilton today, and I tagged along behind the invited guests and managed to get inside and even onto the flight deck. Then I got booted out when someone figured out I wasn't invited :)

The epic fail in the blog title?? Let's see.. Bring your nice shiny jet to Hamilton, park it in front of a crowd of dignitaries and important people, then find the air stairs don't fit and you can open any of the doors !!!! Hahahahaha!!!!

Had my own epic fail though - the carpark pay machine ate my change and I wasn't leaving without it!! The fire rescue guy had to walk over because the ute's in the shop and the fire truck won't fit through the gate!!!! And he had to disassemble the machine to extract two very sorry looking notes :)

Anyway, on with the photos..
