Seth K 3 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 Amazing shot from NZ! Are those taken from observation deck? Love the winglet on FIJI and the beautiful Heliconia as always? Did you guys spotting on July 10? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 ZK-NCH size comparison with A346 Raj, HS-TLA is a A345 something confusing here A 346 and 345 at AKL at the same time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 I took my extended lunch hours and went to spot the Heliconia on 9 Jul the day when TK took her to AKL. I met with TK during the evening. I saw TG's A346 there. The next day (10 Jul) Raj and TK went to spot and Raj captured the TG A345. It was supposed to be an A346 flight, but I figure may be TG can't get an available A346 to send to AKL the other day, so they used the A345 instead? It is not the first time they sent their A345 to AKL though. Hope that clarify things a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chaity 1 Report post Posted July 13, 2006 Thanks for those lovely shots from spotters in AKL. Now I know Fiji has got different type of livaries on their tail. I like the shot by SV Choong showing the AirNZ and Thai with nice sky behind. Really envy AKL spotters to have such a close view of the aircrafts from the observation deck.

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) SV did you get any tripple on Monday? Yes I saw a NZ 772 the other day, but it was too far.... Don't dispair Sandeep, I have another NZ 772 shot which I will post later. If you want it real bad, check my photos at Jetphotos.net, there's a 772 in there. Raj, nice Atlas Air 744F you have there. Have only seen Atlas Air 744F in HKG only... I bet the first pic of the 744F will make it into Jetphotos.net easily. I like the shot by SV Choong showing the AirNZ and Thai with nice sky behind. Thanks, Yeah, I like that one too... is/ are the ANZ's tail(s) changed the color with a bit stone green? Looks like it turned out to be just a rumour, Sneeze.
