Great photos everyone. I saw it fly over Mairangi Bay. It is a very pretty aircraft; the amount of wingflex is amazing. Ive got some pictures of it flying over but they were taken on my phone and therefore aren't worth uploading. Hope to go and see it tomorrow or Monday morning.

Nice photos Jim me boy , same airline Pete took a photo off , technology , in the day 20 years ago the winglets were introduced to save on the fuel and giving the designs of the day special uses over the long range sector , today they are built like spaghetti rolling up and off the wing tips and mention wing flex , wait till they flap and work like our feathered friends .... and as i always said .. I'm sure as hell not going to pick up that tube of glue to put that one together .

Great photos everyone. I saw it fly over Mairangi Bay...

What time was that? I was in the Bays around 9:45

The aircraft will approach Auckland from the northeast over Browns Bay at approximately 9.50am before tracking to Whenuapai[/quote]
and even remembered to look out as I drove - saw nothing but a coupla seagulls.

It should have flown across Christchurch , cos i,m so depressed with the earthquakes and what else ... the gangs and crime i needed cheering up , nah really .. Look at the size of the thing , it dose not look a 777 200 size , and compare , look at how wide the trucks are .
