I’m not sure what the occasion was (perhaps Winnie is being escorted from the premises?) but I caught this USAF C-40 (BBJ) “02-0042″ at Wellington this morning. Annoyingly I was barely in time to see a large Falcon bizjet depart too, so no photos of that and don’t know if it was related.
Also of note was this Associated Aviation Cherokee Arrow which unusually, in my experience, back-tracked on RWY16 at considerable speed.
And yes, it’s a bit blurry at full size. Not sure what the problem was there but most likely me!


Nice photos! I arrived about 40 minutes too late for the BBJ and the Falcon, so not even one
BTW – Do you really think that the Yanks want Winnie?
Well just look at who they apparently DO want! No, I expect they would install him in some puppet state. He might end his days running the affairs of some godforsaken patch of desert in the middle of Africa or deep in the South American rainforest.
