| Thanks everyone! Got back late last night after 14 hrs of travelling...
It was absolutely fantastic! 4 days of skiing and a trip to the Alpine Fighter Collection at Wanaka!
You guys have gotta hear this story... We were half way down quite a large mountain (Cardrona for those who know it) when a P-51 Mustang flys overhead, pretty low too!
That was awesome but next minute he comes tearing over the summit and DIVES down the full length of the mountain!!! Crazy thing is, he wouldnt have been higher than 100ft above the slope (some people even thought 50ft max!!!) I think everyone here can imagine he sight and sound of a Mustang with its Merlin running full throttle diving at about 350mph, only metres above the ground!!
Highly illegal but sure made my week!!!
Cheers
Simon
