Thanks again.Ian Warren wrote:QUOTE (Ian Warren @ Feb 3 2014,2:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>They are Gorgeous Shots, Thanks for the ride , brecky and the company as well , Superb Morning
It really is a Supreme livery !
Thanks Ian ... your right , that is one good looking paint job . Are you going to post that shot of the dude on the engine ... ?
Well done, guys, those photos are particularly nice. It's amazing how bird-like it is, considering the size. The undercarriage looks like talons coming in the land...
I'm glad I don't live in a dry area like that -- wait, I do. Considering all the rain we've had, it is looking a lot like a fire risk.
Yes will do post that photo .. one more video to upload .. the 767 in the 787 to compare just how powerful these 3 this are .. that climb out - "Rocket man"toprob wrote:QUOTE (toprob @ Feb 3 2014,3:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I'm glad I don't live in a dry area like that -- wait, I do.

They had the fire trucks out for the Big Welcome , Marty pointed that out as well .. tender dry !
Great videos and pics Marty and Ian.

So sorry to hear you were indisposed this morning, Mr. 'Pin, and were unable to make it into the office!
Good of you to share though, what a great paint job that is.
Guangzhou-Auckland is running 10 flights weekly, and getting more popular.
Be good to see this extended to Christchurch on a regular basis.
Thanks Hoki , Rob and Charl .
@ Charl ..... feeling much better now

Yep ...they did the spray thing ... but we couldn't get down there in time.
I'm glad you all like the B787 - but ---
having watched it day in and day out and really getting a good look at it I have to say that for me personally - Nah, it just doesn't do it.
Most of the aircraft is fine but that nose is just all wrong. IF Boeing and Airbus had a b@stard child then this is what it would look like. They need to put a
proper Boeing nose on it - somewhat more like the B737 or B767 and then I think it would really look the goods, but for now -
they should have slapped the doctor when when this one was born.
Sorry to those offended but that's just my $0.02 worth.
You just wait until they drive an A350 past your window...
Agree Towerguy.There was just something not quite right about the nose.Looks more Airbussy than Boeing.

ARBUST copied the 787, development of the aircraft was years ahead, even the concept with the original tail with the swept fin when it was then the 7E7.
I met a mate of Marty's, Jeff .. a ARBUST taxi then I heard a comment that made my day .... " look at that thing - looks like a Pig! "
We discussed how pretty the Boeing's are .... the 787 is Boeing so I believe they have got it right .Charl wrote:QUOTE (Charl @ Feb 4 2014,7:49 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>You just wait until they drive an A350 past your window...
