French Air Force VIP Jets

A busy last week at Auckland Airport, and yet again another VIP in town. Also on a whirlwind visit to Auckland was the French Prime Minister, who arrived into Auckland on Sunday 1st May.
The Prime Minister and his travelling party brought three of the French Air Force VIP transport aircraft into Auckland. An A330-200, A340-200 and a Falcon 7X.

This first photo is their A330-200, F-RARF seen here taxing out for departure on Monday 2nd May.

Aerolineas Argentinas, LV-ZPX

Yesterday the 31st August, the last day of winter for 2013 saw a one off visit to Auckland again by Aerolineas Argentinas, Flight AR1180 operated by LV-ZPX, making a stop off on its way to Sydney, and making a guess, to drop off their national rugby team, The Pumas, and of course some supporters.
AR1180 seen here departing again for the last leg to Sydney just after before 4:30pm.

A couple of arrivals and departures...

In each of these photo's is an aircraft that are no longer are seen in Auckland.
Air Pacific's B767-300ER, DQ-FJC, has been retired from their fleet, and Aerolineas Argentinas now operate EZE-SYD non-stop instead of an Auckland stopover.

Aerolineas Argentinas A340-200

Well the end to direct flights between Argentina and Auckland have finally come to a close with Aerolineas Argentinas AR having pulled the plug on services to New Zealand.
They are now going to operate non-stop from Buenos Aires to Sydney using the A340-300.
I actually don't have many photos of AR, and none of their B747's that used to operate to AKL.

I do remember the nice red vinyl seats they have in the B747's though....um
