Air New Zealand's B787-9, ZK-NZE

Air New Zealand's brand new B787-9, ZK-NZE has now been in service since the 9th Aug 2014, with its first Revenue Passenger flight to Sydney as NZ103.

So going back before entry into service and when these photos were taken, on the 28th Jul, on what I think was one of the nicest winter days of the year, clear skies, no wind, and just a brilliant sunny day.

I was able to be on hand to get some good close up photo's of ZK-NZE,  first flight to Christchurch (CHC) as seen here departing from Auckland.
