| 505356 | 2006-12-09 04:25:00 | There is some controversy that this is a hoax..but watch the other aircraft in the background and along the taxiway with the plane we are watching.....HERE (www.youtube.com) This guy (HERE (www.youtube.com)) is NOT a typical US aviation expert. I suspect he's a few bottles under the table too. ...neat accent though! :blush: Somebody else (with an accent you might recognize); also NOT an aviation expert HERE. (www.youtube.com) |

I saved all the BIG VIDs in seperate files, and stacked them up in WMP in a playlist and let them run right after each other . . . there's just a flicker as it changes tracks/files, so the whole thing becomes a full taxi-takeoff-fly around-landing video . Video 1 ( . cz/cricri/vids/nzealand_n_hay_big . zip" target="_blank">flight . cz) [Big 22MB video], or Video 2 ( . cz/cricri/vids/nzealand_n_hay_small . wmv" target="_blank">flight . cz) [Smaller 4 . 8MB video] Video has been sent by Neville Hay (CriCri ZK LBW) from New Zealand . :cool: |

| 505360 | 2006-12-09 06:18:00 | Sorry but the backgound does not look like Tauranga to me. I lived there and I'm only about an hour and a half from there now. By car that is. Why are the files called Tauranga? flight.cz |

| 505361 | 2006-12-09 17:03:00 | The original site was a Czechoslovakian one, and I imagine the French vid was sent from there too...but the NZ post..if you are correct...is suspect. I listened to the announcer's voice telling some things about the Cri-Cri, and I believe it to be Australian or at least NZ...but I don't get to hear that accent very much here, only one or two of youse guys here in Hemet/San Jacinto. |

Why are the files called Tauranga? . cz/cricri/english/cri-cri-faq . php" target="_blank">flight . cz I found a virtual tour of the Tauranga Airport, and to me, there are a few shots that look very much like the video scenery in the CriCri video . Here's the site for the tour . ( . citynews . co . nz/vtours/airport/" target="_blank">www . citynews . co . nz), just click on the various blue pointers to see the assorted views . Especially check the one in the SW corner of Aerodrome Road & Airport Rd . . . it looks the most likely . The blue arrow at the very end of Aerodrome Road, and between it and the runway, looking back ESE at the hanger, shows what looks to me like the place where they pilot powered up the engines against the wheel brakes right at the end of the video . The door is very familiar . |
