Well it has been just over three months since I last posted! I blame the weather that Rodney keeps complaining about.

A total of 17 photos have been added to the photostream. Here are just a sampling of those.

This is a sight that will gradually become less and less common as, over the next 6 years, Air New Zealand phases out their Boeing 737-300 fleet in favour of new-buy Airbus A320s. Pictured is one of the newest 737-300 airframes in the world, ZK-NGH. The only two newer are ZK-NGI and ZK-NGJ.

A type set to become slightly more common is the 737-800 which has been the sole type in the Pacific Blue fleet and will begin replacing 737-400 aircraft in the local Qantas fleet. Pictured is ZK-PBL heading into the sun on a late morning departure from Wellington’s RWY34.

Air2There seem to be thriving in the local market. Cessna 208B Grand Caravan ZK-MYH – “Mike Yankee Hotel” – can often be seen in and out of NZWN and also scooting along at 1500ft between NZWN and home base, NZPP.

Staying on the small side, but back to full jet power is NZWN-based Cessna Mustang ZK-MUS.
