Wowza, where would the park that big boy?
And would they have to fly up to Auckland to refuel before heading home if takeoff weights are an issue at Welly?

An incident happened ways back in during the 1987 Singapore-Christchurch air-race airshow, that time it happened to be the Andover, they got a tug and towed it onto Rwy29 and sat it there for the rest off the day .. quick squizz and pick up the rubber and carried on with the show .

It may be parked by the RNZAF if it's a diplomatic visit...otherwise Gate 23 and 26 can hold code D & E aircraft (C130, A330, A340, B757, B767 and B777)
