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.

Air China - Fly's Chinese President into Auckland.

First up.....Sorry for the long gap since my last post, it's been a busy few weeks for me, have been away, and have had no computer for a week also, all sorted now.

Well its been a busy week at Auckland Airport. This week saw the Chinese President, Xi Jingping make a visit to New Zealand. And as one would expect, the logistics of flying one of the most powerful man in the world around requires a fair amount of planning.

Arriving into Auckland on the 16th Nov was this Air China Cargo B740-400, B-2475 arriving from Peking vis Nadi. B-2475 carried the Presidential Cars in advance.
