Be good to hear your take, Marty. I was so influenced by the "Plastic, Electric" mantra that I probably didn't give the aircraft its due. (Still prefer the 777, I suspect)

Regarding the beach I totally agree they were certainly a rocket ship, allot like the B200. What are they planning with the ATR I know they have bought a few 600s to replace the 500 series. The one mistake I thought Air New Zealand did was paint a couple of there aircraft black. Black Is hotter in the sun, Also if one of the aircraft happened to go down black is the hardest to see.

Nice... although #4 ship was a tad slow... :ph43r: the curse of YouTube! Were you not going to bless us with some wonderful photos of the day? Charl, I just posted some snapshots. Link to the gallery in the thread below. :cheers:

I wish,

Arr Things did go off with a bang then ! GREAT! B-)

No ... I don't have it, maybe worth a looksee at a later stage B-)

We mentioned a few days ago the arrival of Air China's Boeing 737-800 B-1761 into Auckland from Guangzhou via Darwin as CCA002A. It then conducted a training/route proving flight to Wellington and back 25 March before ultimately carrying Chinese Premier Li Keqiang late on the afternoon of 26 March after he and associated delegation arrived in Auckland from Sydney onboard Air China Boeing 747-400 B-2447 as CCA002. The Boeing 737-800 returned to Auckland from Wellington 27 March and departed mid afternoon 28 March for Sydney, then flew onto Darwin and Guangzhou 29 March while the Boeing 747-400...

Some people may look cool calm and collected under pressure - but they are usually one of two types. The ones that don't really understand just how bad things really are, and the others screaming silently in their heads ... F#ck, f#ck, f#ck don't let me screw this up! I can get a witness here regard to my situation, setting and maintaining an automatic lathe , the drill dia: size was 40mm but it was sharpen to drill a flat bore hole, this was an air compressed machine with an auto load, the bar, steal was 60mm X 3.6 meters long, the compressor out the back blew it's top and all the airlines...

All this talk about the want to keep aircraft in New Zealand for museums is now the time to grab it , 200's date around 1985 so its a 32 year history with those making it the most long lived International type operated by ANZ forgetting the versions.

Great link deeknow ... what a trip that would be.

Think we can say from all here, we really appreciates these small films :) specifically in these major NZ centers, watching a few more short videos it, Please let the author's know how much we simply love the showings B-)

Try KKE you can still clear customs there. It's not written on the site but I know it can be done

I've got mine, did you get yours? :D Sure did, it arrived in July. Had everything booked since then :clap: Probly see you there, then :cheers: ATB

The F-35 looks a spiffy little thing - for some reason it puts me in mind of the old Chippie :D

IMPRESSIVE! simply what movies and war comics are made up on, I have to dig up refuel tracking to that Vulcan from the Victors, amazing how long ago that was but still so fresh in my mind.

Didn't mean to sound derogatory with the "only" .... far from it in fact. 19000 over that sector was perfect, just wish I had, had my camera in the cabin. One thing I mentioned to a lady who sat in my window seat return flight heading to Wellington, explained exactly why I needed my W/seat, I never had a problem with space , but typical I show point of references on that flight to her , she got to understand exactly what I was on about ... biggest thing was appreciated why I needed that window seat ! , spoke to her couple times afterwards .. "only" my seat ! :)

Allot of the aircraft did not have pins but coins but they were not cheap at $20.00 each. That is the thing with shows like this , every little bit helps to keep then going course Ohakea being a special prices would have been marked up, you find a lot of that stuff across the net.
