Air Nelson Q300, ZK-NEC
Well what a difference in the weather 24hrs can make.
Back at Blenheim Airport 24hrs later for my flight back home to Auckland and some very different shots with sunny clear weather today. My ride home was on Air Nelson's Q300, ZK-NEC.
This was my first flight ever on a Dash 8, Q300 type, and I was very impressed with how roomy and quiet it was. Great Aircraft. Can't wait to fly on it again.
The first 5 five photos I took from the terminal through thick tinted glass of NEC arriving from Auckland. The last four photos I snuck in while walking out to board the flight.

Some more photos from my trip down south, and this time back at Blenheim Airport for the arrival of Air Nelson's Q300, ZK-NEB from Auckland.
The weather was pretty dam miserable, very cold dark overcast rainy day, but that didn't stop me getting out for these photos.
Check back tomorrow for some more photos taken at the same spot, 24hrs later............

Bristol Freighter ZK-CPT
On a recent trip to the South Island, I managed to make it finally to the Omaka Aerodrome, Blenheim, also the home of the Sir Peter Jackson's, Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.
I was a bit short on time, and didn't manage to make if through this amazing aviation museum, but I will be making a special trip back for a look one day soon.
However time did permit for a quick walk around and on display right outside the Aviation Centre is this retired Safe Air "Merchant Courier" Bristol Freighter ZK-CPT.
Safe Air purchased ZK-CPT in May 1966.
The Bristol Freighter first flew in 1945.
ZK-CPT completed some 27,679 hours during her time in service. Safe Air is based still currently based at Blenheim's Woodbourne Airport, and operated a fleet of 17 Bristol Freighters.

Great Barrier Airlines ZK-PLA
Back to some old photos I have of this Great Barrier Airlines Partenavia, ZK-PLA.
I took these photos at the beginning of last summer at the North Shore Airfield, I saw PLA doing some circuits at the field as I was heading south on the motorway, so I made a detour and managed to get these photos.

Air New Zealand's B777-200ER, ZK-OKC is still the only -200 in their fleet to wear the new livery, and it would be good to see more -200's receive a new paint job soon.
So here are some new photos of ZK-OKC arriving from Nadi, Fiji, as NZ52.

LAN B787-8 CC-BBE Takeoff
LAN are well into their new B787-8 operations on the SCL-AKL-SYD flights and the introduction of the B787-9 on the route is still on target for a late September start.
With the sun getting low, and clear skies, made for these photos of flight LA800, CC-BBE departing for Santiago, Chile.
The light was almost perfect.
