Back at Ardmore Airport mid winter, in nice weather for a change, and lucky to be on hand for these photo's of this Bell Jet Ranger helicopter, ZK-IGD as it arrived and touched down. Nice colour scheme, very bright.

Air New Zealand B767-300ER, ZK-NCK

Back on the 4th July 2016, Air New Zealand's recently retired B767-300ER, ZK-NCK departed Auckland for the very last time. Operating a delivery flight to Alice Springs, Australia for the new owners.

Not sure if ZK-NCK in still in Alice Springs, but after arriving on the 4th July, NCK was due to stay there until the new owners decided fly her again.

Well here's my photo's I got of ZK-NCK leaving Auckland for the last time on what was a rather cold and very dull winters day.

Singapore B747-400F & Air New Zealand A320

Well I'm slowly getting use to the new camera and the conditions were perfect for testing it out during the late golden hour a few weeks back on a very clear late winter early spring afternoon.

Emirates A380 & Air NZ B777-200

Some more photos that are a little different, and trying to catch some of the late afternoon action in the late afternoon winter sun. Emirates A380 Wildlife Livery taking off for Brisbane and NZ104 arriving back into Auckland.

Nice light for this photo of NZ28 to Houston taking off and a Air New Zealand (Air Nelson) Link Q300 taxing back to the terminal.

China Eastern A330-200 & Air New Zealand A320

Well not much been happening lately at the airport, so time to show some other photos that I took for no particular reason, just for something different really.

Air New Zealand B787-9, ZK-NZI

My first photos here of Air New Zealand's newly delivered B787-9, ZK-NZI which was the newest B787-9 in the fleet until last week when ZK-NZJ arrived from the Boeing factory.

ZK-NZI arrived into Auckland in late July, direct from Boeing Field, and entered service on the 2nd August as NZ175 to Perth.

Air New Zealand B787-9, ZK-NZC

Sorry for not posting many photos lately, been busy with others things on the go.

Back last month I was in Nadi, Fiji, on a very short visit and got these photos of Air New Zealand's B787-9, ZK-NZC and my ride back to Auckland as NZ55.

The weather sure was nice and warm, wish I could have stayed.

Air China Special Livery, A330-200, B-6075

At last.....I've been trying to get photos of this Special Livery, Air China A330-200, B-6075 for some time now, and have not been around on its previous visits to Auckland.

Well that all changed back on the 18th Aug, and I was able to get these photos just as the sun was setting and no clouds, rain, or wind, perfect.

Singapore Airlines Cargo B747-400F, 9V-SFO

Well I've had the new camera for about a month now and I actually have not had a chance to practise much with it, and have only taken a few photos on days when the weather was actually nice.

I managed to catch these shots of Singapore Airlines Cargo 9V-SFO taxing out as SQ7297 to Melbourne with the sun getting very low in the west. Still lots to learn with the new camera.
