1. TK's EK A380 shots

2. Lan Chile's A340 shots.

 

Thinking of bringing my Nikon for a workout down southern hemisphere coming July. Thanks.

 

p.s. How long a lense we need at these locations?? (in full frame CMOS sensor)

Hi Greg, no idea on Operator. But it's a B767-200.

 

 

Did you get a wave from TK when he was on approach? ;)

Nah, next time around hopefully

Hi LeeCH, both the A380 and A340 were taken from what's called the Air New Zealand simulator parking. If ur down, just let me know and shudn't be much of problem to take u down there.

 

Based on lense's, i think u should check with TK.

Heard ZK-NCL's winglet was fitted by HAECO in HKG. Aircraft was sent to all the way to HKG and back. :blink:

Nice catch Raj.

 

Yeap bro, all the way to HKG. Currently 3 alreay have winglets.

 

Nice shots, Raj :good: So, i guess ZK-NCL is the third 767 with winglets in the fleet after NCG & NCK :pardon:

 

Thanks MIR. Yes that's correct. NCL is the third one. I think the forth one has already gone for it's winglets installation.

 

Several from the morning of the 10th

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.
