A friend of mine who flys for Air New Zealand (And is also the ANZ 777 Training Captain), Geoff Cooper, has very kindley taken some photographs for me during his long haul flights, which I am posting in this thread.

He has given me more than 200 pictures, but I am only going to show a small selection of my 13 favourites, Enjoy!

I'm heading to SFO on the Air NZ 777 in September. I might get your friend as my pilot

I really enjoyed the landing shot at SFO. Something I've seen in the sim but not for real yet. Beautiful aircraft, shot 1 especially.

Excellent, great to get the right view on approach,I've obviously been coming in way too low,sure looks like a mean sink rate from there!

Codge if you were referring to NZAA 23L, I'd stick to my instincts.
That shot is zoomed and foreshortened, so you seem higher and closer than you actually are.
I'd fly the lights if you don't trust your instruments to capture the ILS

NZAA 23L:
Uni-directional
variable high
intensity, coded
CL with 5 bars
white.
Omni-directional
variable LI, CL
with 2 bars red
