Hmmmm, not quite the welcome we were wanting...

Ooops! These pictures are of a B737 idle on the taxiway at Wellington. Appears that as it left the runway, it left it's nosewheel hydraulic fluid behind... which resulted in quite a little welcoming committee.

Again the photos had to be shot into sun and through a grubby window, so the are not great. The final shot is one of the aircraft about to be towed off to the terminal.

Yeah - listen to your instructor and don't take unnecessary risks.

Remember: there are not enough years allocated to this life to make all the mistakes yourself. So try and learn from the mistakes of others - much safer that way also :-)
