The Black Beauty - ZK-NZE
Its been a while since my last photos of Air New Zealand's B787-9, ZK-NZE and nice to add these ones to my collection. During the winter months and without heat haze, I'll endeavour to get some sunset photos if I can of NZE at Auckland during that golden hour just before sundown.
Here's Hoping.

Roaring Forties - Harvards
Some more photos from the Wing's Over Wairarapa Air Show, and the Roaring Forties Harvard Display Team Taxing out in preparation for their take off and display.
For some reason up until now, I haven't been able to get any decent shots of the Harvard's before, so I was very pleased to get these one's in great sunny, and close up conditions.

Korean Airlines - Special Livery HL8209
I almost missed this one yesterday, I only realised it was in town at the last minute so made a mad dash to get these shots. It was rather dark and the rain had just started.
I have not seen this Korean B777-300ER, HL8209 in Auckland, but I'm sure its been before.
Some photos of KE130 Taking Off for their daily flight back home.

Vietnam Airlines - B777-200ER
This week saw a visit to Auckland by the Prime Minister of Vietnam, Nguyen Tan Dung, aboard a this Vietnam Airlines B777-200ER VN-A150.
A fairly large contingent travelled to Australia and New Zealand with the Prime Minister marking a long and growing diplomatic relation between New Zealand & Vietnam.
The lighting conditions were not the best for the Arrival of VN1 from Canberra and the departure again to Hanoi also as VN1, however I was still just pleased to get some shots of this rare visitor to Auckland.

China Southern CZ336 Take Off
At last I finally managed to get some photos of CZ departing Auckland from runway 05R.
With the luck of good weather and a sunny morning, I was pretty happy to get these photos of
B-2733, flight CZ336 rotating right in front of me. Sure love the wing flex of those B787's.

Emirates Sky Cargo Freighter A6-EFM
A very special delivery arrived into Auckland on Saturday morning, 14th Mar on board this
Emirates Sky Cargo B777-200F, A6-EFM, direct from Colombo (CMB) in Sri Lanka as UAE9300.
On board was an Elephant named "Anjalee" which I think is bound for Auckland Zoo, after a 3 month stay in Niue, where she flew to also today on board an RNZAF C-130 Hercules NZ7001,
"Anjalee" was unloaded from A6-EFM and was reloaded into the back of the C-130 within an hour or so before taking off for Niue and her quarantine stay on the island.
A6-EFM departed mid morning from AKL bound for Sydney and Taipei as the same flight number.
Was pretty happy to be on hand to get these photo's of this rare B777 variant to visit AKL.

Titan T-51 Midget Mustang ZK-WWM
I thought it would be good to carry on from my last post of the P 51 Mustang with these photos of a
Titan T-51 Midget Mustang MJ-77, ZK-WWM
Sure is a clean aircraft and I was surprised at how short and small the propeller blades actually were.

The Mighty Mustang
A few more photos this time again from the Wings Over Wairarapa Air Show back in January.
As usual the P 51D Mustang is always a crowd pleas er at airshows and ZK-TAF, (NZ2415) from the New Zealand Warbird's put on an impressive performance.
You have just gotta love the sound of that engine....
