I came across this individual at the 2011 Ragamuffin music festival. As you can see, he wanted people to know just how proud he was to be Maori. Maori get given a bad wrap but there is absolutely nothing wrong with them.

Raggamuffin 2012 Is Just Around The Corner
Pin It Now!
Earlier on in the year I took a bit of time out to head down to Rotorua for Ragamuffin. This year the line-up included: MARY J BLIGE, JIMMY CLIFF, MAXI PRIEST, THE ORIGINAL WAILERS, KY-MANI MARLEY, CHE FU & THE KRATEZ, NESIAN MYSTIK, 1814 and SONS OF ZION. SEAN PAUL was supposed to perform but was unable to make it. That being said, it was still a fantastic event and I am already looking forward Raggamuffin 2012. Hopefully they will make an announcement on next years line-up soon and I will be sure to get tickets as soon as they go on sale.
The photo is of the huge banners they had on either side of the stage. I am just in love with the colour combination.

This Royal New Zealand Airforce Douglas C-47D or Dakota as it is known to some people was one of the attractions at the Air New Zealand Tech Ops Open day on Sunday the 3rd of April. It also happened to be the only aircraft there that was taking attendees for short flights around the city.

Air New Zealand ‘All Black’ Airbus A320-232 ZK-OAB | Crazy About Rugby
Pin It Now!
Today I took up the opportunity of attending the Air New Zealand Tech Ops Open Day. A friend who works for Air New Zealand took us around the facility and WOW!, there is a lot that takes place to keep their planes in the sky. We also had the chance of walking through and taking a look at their B777-300, B747-400 and A320-232. I was very impressed by the 777 but the livery on the A320 was the highlight for me.

Air New Zealand extended the All Black theme for their A320 to the towing vehicle which is also painted in black with “Crazy About Rugby” plastered on the side and to top it off, its registration is similar to that of the All Black plane, ZKOAB.
