Currently 3 alreay have winglets. Nice shots, Raj So, i guess ZK-NCL is the third 767 with winglets in the fleet after NCG & NCK Thanks MIR. Yes that's correct. NCL is the third one.

Raj 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 Thanks guys Raj, Roustam Tariko's B737-7BC BBJ (VP-BRT) will depart from Sydney to Auckland prolly today or tomorrow. Thanks MIR. I think it arrived at 4pm LT today. Unable to get it today. I think it might be departing tomorrow noon bak to sydney. Might try tomorrow. Raj, Good shot on QF 25.. love the condensation So is QF flying direct from LAX to AKL stopover then SYD? Thanks MIN. Well Qantas have just recently slpit the flight up. QF25/26 is a B744 which operates AKL-LAX-AKL. They then have QF737 which operates the MEL-AKL-MEL route. I guess to tranfer pax for the LAX flight. Previously the jumbo used to operate MEL-AKL-LAX-AKL-MEL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
