  1. Hey Steve. Amazing detail as usual, thanks so much!! .. I've cheekily cross-posted the pic of ZK-NEY in the Newmans livery at Queenstown to a post over at nzff.org as was doing some repaints of a Dash8-100 in the sim. Hope that's OK, I'll watch this post to make sure. Post is here FYI: https://nzff.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=31268
