How did they include several islands that are part of other countries (e.g. Norfolk and Reunion) & uninhabited subantarctic islands?
Answer: someone used AI. And no one bothered to check it.

A cool #AvGeek event happening here in Christchurch sometime soon. The NZ Air Force will be landing a C130 in a park next to the Air Force Museum. Hope we get enough advance notice to see it!

Made the 50 minute connection at Singapore to my second ever A350 ride. We weren't even the last ones on the plane.

Ooh I'll play. I rode this plane last week, SYD-SIN. Bit of an #AvGeek fail on my part as I thought I'd be riding an A350 only to find this beast at the gate.

The dual citizen thing is relatively new for me. Traveling with two passports feels like I'm doing something untoward.

Since I seem to be picking up a bunch of #AvGeek followers, I'll post my most recent plane pic. One of my favourite places - Abel Tasman National Park seen from a recent AKL-CHC flight.
