Farewell Retired B767-300ER, ZK-NCI

Air New Zealand's retired B767-300ER, ZK-NCI has left New Zealand for the last time, on Saturday the 24th Jun 2016, as NZ6011, destination, Alice Springs, Australia.

ZK-NCI is the second to last B767-300ER to leave after being retired from service, only leaving ZK-NCG left yet to depart.

So it was great to get these one last time photos of ZK-NCI on a rather grey and wet Saturday before she left our shores for good. Farewell NCI.

Qantas B747-400, VH-OEG

Once a regular sight in Auckland was the Qantas B747-400's, but no longer.

However today the 23rd of June, Auckland had the pleasure of visit by a Qantas B747-400,
VH-OEG, carrying a load of the British Lions Rugby supporters ahead of the first Test Match of the
All Blacks vs British Lions at Eden Park on Saturday night.

It sure is good to see my favourite aircraft of all time, the B747-400, passenger version, back in town

Air New Zealand A320's, ZK-OJH and ZK-OJI

With the light fading fast on this day, and as I haven't taken many shots of ZK-OJH, Air New Zealand's Star Alliance Livery, lately, it was perfect timing to be on location for these shots.

And just a minute later ZK-OJI was being towed from the hanger back to the International Ramp, and the light was even better, yes just one minute later.

Auckland Airport Movements - Random shots

Sometimes I just take random shots for the fun of it, just point and shoot really and just seeing what comes out at the end of the day.

So here's a few random shots of some movements at Auckland Airport over the last month or so.

Air Asia X Special Liveries, 9M-XXH and 9M-XXT

Air Asia X sure do have some very colourful liveries on their A340-300's that they operate into Auckland from Kuala Lumper via the Gold Coast.

Some photos of two example's arriving two days apart in the same light and weather conditions.
Also got the same time sequence of the shots the same also.

The first three shots are of 9M-XXH, and one of my favourite liveries of Air Asia X
