Aircraft sitting outside a real handful to keep in good shape. Something the size of the Lanc would be a huge amount of work.

QUOTE (Splitpin @ Jan 15 2011, 11:10 PM) What a shame we cant track them down, and bring them home (like QANTAS did) and preserve them in a national aviation heritage centre.... Speaking of historical aircraft /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> the ANZ fleet still includes the last 737-300 ever built (ZK-NGJ) which was delivered to the airline in December 1999

The Herc did a few touch n goes at TG and I also spotted the helicopters flying in tandem along the Papamoa coast. Beautiful day to be over flying the Bay /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

Photo of DHL 727 with only one engine remaining: Photo taken on 24th. Anyone know whats going to happen to it? Demand for this type can't be too high so I assume it will soon be heading for the scrappers. On another note its sad that Continental's plans for Auckland have been delayed. On the other hand it gives Air New Zealand a chance to start another route to North America, that is if they believe there is sufficient demand and if they have enough spare aircraft. Maybe time to order some Boeing 777-200LRs as compensation for late 787s .....or maybe I'm just dreaming /biggrin.gif...

QUOTE (mavman @ Dec 22 2010, 02:24 PM) I'm fortunate enough to be on the delivery flight NZ6393 LAX-AKL arriving into AKL Xmas Eve morning. I'll post some pics up when I'm back, providing the company gives me the OK! /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> Awesome stuff, look FWD to your pics.

All I know is that they didn't come over Napier way - just the usual commercial traffic all day today...

Some insight from an American here. I think most US airlines now are charging some sort of fee for bags of any size. (Southwest Airlines remains as a major exception to that I believe) Obviously everyone was quite annoyed with the prospect when it was first introduced, but there hasn't been much of an effort organized against the practice. As far as what constitutes a carry on....from what I've seen, it's related more to the dimensions of the bag than the weight here. Other times, it's a case of "carry it on, and if it doesn't fit, just gate-check it (have the baggage...

maybe pilot preference for certain weather or traffic?? may of been asked to stay low because of other traffic. all i know is i wouldnt like to take off and see that in line with me haha
