    Sorry, I don't recall saying I remember that Orions were "GREEN" thank you...
    It was the nose profile (as per picture).

    Good to have people jumping to conclusions, makes your night so much

    i was taking the piss dude, but if you look at the pic (assuming your not green/grey colour blind) you will see that the aircraft is clearly green - orions in NZ were only ever white/grey with black nose or all over grey.

    Anyway dont want to hi-jack the thread.

    All credit to you guys discussing the 'plane. I was actually there when the photos were being taken and I was too busy drooling while admiring the 'Busa to even notice there was a plane there.

    In their current state I think M1CRO's bike goes faster than the 'plane so I'll keep my attention on that.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    It's been a rough day. I got up this morning, put on a shirt and a button fell off.
    As I ran out the door, I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off.
    Now I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.

    that would be the C-17 that came in to move our SAS and some Army Engineers to Afghanistan and Iraq when our aircraft were too busy doing other things.

    Thats the only aircraft i have seen at Whenuapai that is largely visible at the far end of the runway, as it slopes down considerably at the other end. Even the Hercules only bearly shows the top of the tail when sitting at the far end.
