I have another handful of photos to show you. All of these were taken in the month of June. That’s the depths of winter here in New Zealand and it has certainly been cold and wet more often than not.
Air New Zealand 737-300 ZK-SJB throttles up for a soggy RWY16 departure on a less than salubrious day.
But there were a few sunny days to be had, as shown in this into-the-sun shot of Air Nelson’s DHC-8 Q300 ZK-NEJ departing off RWY34.
And finally a pair of shots taken whilst waiting (interminably) for my first JetStar photo. These two show the colours of a Wellington sunset – something Jetstar missed by a good 10 minutes. Grrr!
First, Air New Zealand 737-300 ZK-NGH heads for touchdown on RWY34.
Followed shortly after by Piper Tomahawk ZK-FML, which seems to now be a fixture in Wellington. A welcome change from the inevitable white-based schemes, the brilliant yellow and gold scheme positively glows in the final rays.
As always, more can be found on Flickr in the Wellington Airport set. (Including one more of that late A320.)
ZK-FML is being used by Wellington Aero Club – probably just while another Traumahawk has some engine work done.
