Thanks so much! Oh, I love the word ‘adjudication’ and I’m definitely going to use it in an upcoming video.

Thanks!

Oh, wow, I was unaware that SYD has a curfew. That was very lucky! I mean, it would have made for excellent content, but it definitely would have been a very frustrating experience!

@@SupersonicKiwi I almost got caught a few years ago SYD-HKG. I was still stowing stuff in the overhead when the skipper pushed back. I later spoke to him about the tight schedule. Made up time and we arrived in HKG about on time.

@@robharris5467​​⁠oh, that’s super interesting. I thought they weren’t meant to close the doors until everyone is seated, or is that an airline rule and not a more general aviation rule?

@@SupersonicKiwi I was seated the front row of economy so was last to board - rear to front loading. Not sure about rule but skipper told me 'I had to push back because I knew how long the taxi would be'.

As far as I’m aware Air New Zealand have never had any ATR42s, and don’t have any on order. Do you have a source you could point me to?

Hi! Thanks for another positive comment, I really appreciate it. I don’t know what the resealing cost, but the Alexandra airport 1200x30m runway resealing cost $930,000 - www.codc.govt.nz/your-council/news?item=id:2mcjuyebq17q9s02a55n and the Timaru runway is 1130x90m, so I guess somewhere between $2.5m and $3m?

Thank you so much. I always love reading your super positive and supportive comments. Keep being awesome!

I think you’re looking at this backwards - your plane ride will also soon be a part of history too, and when you tell people about it you will, in that moment, absolutely be a historian! Congratulations!

@@SupersonicKiwi i guess i cant deny

The only place I can think of is when I’m talking about the seat pitch and my height - I’m more recent reviews I usually say both the metric and imperial, so the person watching can understand regardless of where they live and the system they use. Or are you referring to something else?

It always feels like a bit of a high five moment when they give you the whole can, and a top up is a nice bonus, but I’m going to double down on the beverage that fits in the cup, haha. I’ve been mulling over the cheese to cracker ratio for a while, I’m pleased it landed well with you, thanks for watching!

It was certainly a bit more detective work than I had initially anticipated! Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

Thanks! I use Premiere, sometimes there’s a little bit of After Effects. It’s not the cheapest option, but it’s what I know, and the way it saves projects allows me to easily move files and backups around as I flit between projects

Yeah, I’ve never had that happen before. I assume we entered the runway with ATCs blessing. The Qantas 737s often go long on their arrivals at Wellington so I don’t know why anyone thought they’d get off the runway any quicker than they did! I found it all very exciting at the time, but my wife didn’t even notice, haha!

They are sooooo good!

@@SupersonicKiwi they are very good but not as good a coles chokchip cookies nothing is better then them

@PotatoGod6969 oh, I’ve not had those ones - I’ll have to get some next time I’m over!

Always sunny in Sydney, right?

Wow, thanks, that’s awesome! So glad you like my reviews!

I’ve actually been trying to figure out how to work Barrier Air into my schedule, but I haven’t been able to make it work without it costing a small fortune! Hopefully I’ll be able to make it work, possibly later in 2025.

@@SupersonicKiwi ok cool thanks there cool little planes grand caravan my name is Lachlan a 12 kid who lives in nz I’m actually in Samoa right now came over in the 787 Dreamliner

@katherinejoynes4704 oh, awesome, I hope your plane ride in the Dreamliner was excellent!

Thanks! I quite liked it, and I agree - they’re a perfectly proportioned little jet. Hopefully you’ll get on one at some point

@@SupersonicKiwi yeah surely one day.

Thank you!

Oh, a wet lease. I don’t know how I missed that. Thanks, I have the return flight to make and I think talking about this would be super interesting, thanks!

I guess I’ve just been lucky with my Qantas flights - nothing is more frustrating than lost luggage! I feel like there’s a story behind that comment about forgetting to serve meals - like, all of the meals, or just yours??

This initially confused me, but another comment detailed it as a wet lease, which I missed in the information on planespotters.net. Out of curiosity, where it your line for a flight being ‘Qantas’ or ‘Not Qantas’ - I have footage from the return flight and think the topic of leasing and subsidiaries could be super interesting to work through.

@@SupersonicKiwiYeah it’s Qantas way of reducing cost but it started due to the uncertainty of flying certain routes post covid. The brand QANTAS is not once it was before, even compared to just before precovid.

Because they take me a long time to put together and edit, on average I reckon it’s about 3-4 hours per minute of finished video, and then a few weeks to get permission from rights holders of photos and the music. On top of that I have a day job that is pretty busy, so that pushes out the times as well.

@@SupersonicKiwi oh ok

All good! Thanks for watching!

You should have helped me edit, because I got to hear it a LOT as I obsessively checked and rechecked that I’d got all the details right.

Yay, you’re finally here, we’ve all been waiting for you! Thanks for watching, and I hope I can continue to deliver!

Awww, thanks so much, that too kind!

Thanks for watching, and for your kind and positive comment, I really appreciate it. Yes, a very relaxed announcement from the pilot!

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!

Bun

The breakfast review for the main it could've gotten a 9 out of 10

@@tiarepomare4376 I mean, it was pretty great…

Thank you! I’m pretty sure they do - each video I publish has a slightly bigger initial wave of views. This one has actually been a bit overwhelming - 7,000 views in 2 days. That’s a bit crazy to me - that’s an awful lot of people having a wee look, and over a third of them are still watching at the end. So thank you for your sub, I really appreciate it. You’re only the second person to comment on the aircraft labelling and subtitles - I’m so glad that they’re appreciated as they’re actually quite a lot of work! I do find it fascinating to think about where all the other planes have come from and where they’re going next - scheduling is so complex! Thanks for watching, and for taking the time to comment. And thanks again for the sub

Tēnā rawa atu koe. I’m just some random trying their best, I’m so glad it’s hitting the mark.

Good to see you! I hope everything is well in your world

You’re more than welcome! I have footage of a few more flights between BNE and WLG, but I’m so behind on others that I might not get to them for a while!

Oh, cool. I realise all jobs become a bit same-same after a while, but it seems to me that aircraft maintenance would be fascinating - so much to know and learn, and so many interconnected systems. Must be massively stimulating and hugely rewarding. Thanks for being so great at your job so we all get to fly around in the sky!

Why’s that?

@@SupersonicKiwi I’ve had some pretty average flights with them over the years. I’d book air NZ , I find them better. Living in Auckland , choice of aircraft is better too and the food.

@user-im3hr1ed2l oh, that’s no good. Yes, I agree that Air New Zealand is better trans Tasman, although I do like that every fare class on Qantas gets a meal. You’re right that out of Auckland has more options, for sure, but being from Wellington I find that they’re not worth the extra time and the transit. I have done it in the past to make use of an upgrade though, haha.

Haha, it was actually a pretty ok trip, but it was short, so maybe that was why. Thanks! I really liked it, and on reflection it’s definitely better than the 737 - more space, faster boarding and disembarkation, and only one neighbour. And now that I know to take a wee stand for my phone I’m sure that next time will be even better!

Wow, that’s seriously high praise! I hope I can continue to deliver!

Also, I’m a bit scared to Google aerosexualism. It’s good, right?

@@SupersonicKiwi a person who nerds out on planes = an aerosexual

Thanks so much! That’s a flabbergasting score, I hope I can keep up with that expectation!

Yeah, it really was. And they kept bringing more things out.

It was great, thanks. It was super hot though - 42C. Scorchio!

Thanks, that’s very kind of you.

Possibly unsurprisingly, I have a science degree. I think it wasn’t my true calling because I kept trying to crack jokes about things that people take a bit seriously. But thankfully those skills are transferable to this career choice! Well, it’s more a hobby that will probably never pay for all of the cameras I have ‘invested’ in, but I really enjoy the process, and I’m actually a bit overwhelmed that other people enjoy what I produce. Thanks for watching!
