Haha, well I thought to myself, what international destinations do ANZ fly to that have decent sim airport scenery that AES would work with, logical conclusion was good old San Francisco.
Another question- did you actually fly the full on 12 hour flight from NZ to the USA with the Queen of the Skies to get these pictures?

s**t id hate to be a SFO ramp agent with you leaving the landing lights on
I dont think ANZ fly the 744 to SFO anymore, but excellent shots none the less. Love that wingview.

I dunno, I think those might just be taxi lights (but I'm not an expert), notice the outer lights are off, whereas the inners are on. Taxi? Or not?

I think they're just taxi lights, but these are often all that is used, especially taking off. See:
