My home field has a nuclear plant a few miles to the south, and the

The ocean is a couple miles east, so most traffic is coming from the
west.


Interesting! Just a completely off topic question - feel free to flame
me mercilessly... I live in what is described as a nuclear-free
country. I don't know if you guys remember but back in the 80s our
government banned US ships and so on... But anyway, I've just had a
nasty email exchange with our local Green Party, who now want to ban US
military flights from Christchurch airport because they supply the Pine
Gap spy facility in Australia, which shares with the US...

Idiots!!!! I'm firing off another email to these bloody tree-hugging
hippies now...

All the best
