Japan Defence Force Kawasaki P-1, 5505
Boy was I lucky to get these photos after a mad dash.
This is the Japanese Defence Force Kawasaki P-1 Maritime Patrol Aircraft, 5505, taking off from the Whenuapai Air Force base on Monday the 21st Nov. The P-1 was in Auckland as part of the New Zealand Navy's 75th celebration's but unfortunately was unable to fly over the Auckland Harbour in the air display because of poor weather last Saturday.
I love this little four engine jet and was just so happy to get a photo of one at last.

RNZAF Texan's
Yesterday I made the drive to out the Whenuapai Air Force base in expectation of some action, in regards to the fly over event for the Royal New Zealand Navy's 75th Anniversary, which was planned including the RNZAF's Texans's and the Japanese visiting Maritime P-1's and a Korean P3 Orion.
Well the weather was crap so say the least and the flyover was unfortunately cancelled due low cloud and persist rain. So was lucky to even see the RNZAF, Texan's taxi out as they headed for home at Ohakea, where they are based. These photos were taken in the worst conditions I've every tried to.

Korean Airlines B747-8's
Korean Airlines have started their B747-8 operations into Auckland for the busy summer season, now operated daily with the B747-8 on their Seoul - Auckland - Seoul, KE129/KE130 flights.
The B747-8 and equal to the B747-400 is my favourite aircraft, it will be hard to replace it.
I am looking forward to a first time visit by an B747-8 Freighter one day soon I hope into AKL.
The first nine photos are of HL7633 arriving and departing on runway 05R.
These next six photos are of HL7636 arriving and departing on runway 23L a day earlier.
The sun is not in the bast place for taking photos during the day at the moment as almost right overhead, a bit challenging to get some good shots.

RAAF P-8A Poseidon A47-001
It was great to see the Royal Australian's Air Force first Boeing P-8A Poseidon A47-001 in Auckland this week on its delivery flight from Boeing Field to Australia via Honolulu and Auckland.
I presume the stop in Auckland was for Tech Crew rest, and it departed Auckland on the 14th Jul for Avalon, Australia just after 2pm. It will be great to see more of these P-8's through Auckland, hopefully.
