I just found these two neat shots on A.net, and thought I would share them:

I think you might've screwed up the linnks there Trolly.

Good...grief...to that second one.
You have to wonder, I mean those aerodynamic engineers spend years getting the airflow just so, and then they hang all that stuff out there and the thing still flies, somehow.
And how'd that guy get out there on the wingstrut anyway??
Amazing shot.

Wasnt there an incident a couple years ago where some Asian guy ended up driving up and down the runway at Auckland?

Then there was good old Judith Dobsons husband who crashed his car in to a radar station at Ohakea (after drag racing down the runway)

I love the second shot.

Another cool new pic on Airliners': http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1143919/M/

The passenger got a great wingview shot over Maraiti/Beachlands/Whitford coming into land on the 23L approach at NZAA. I reconise all the locations in that pic!

How high up do you reckon this shot was taken from? I might have to go down to Maraiti beach and check it out as a spotting location... towerguy, you may be able to help out here: what altitude do aircraft have to be over the Waiheke Channel on appoach to 23L?

Here is another shot by the same photgrapher, or Airwork's 737-200. Just a few questions about Airwork for my personal knowlage:
How big is their fleet, what does it consist of?
What routes do they fly?
Is that 737-200 configurated for PAX, if so, do ANZ operate flights on board?

I just found some brilliant airliner.net shots by a guy called Rob Neal: http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.sear...inct_entry=true

Check out his air to air Vincent Aviation shots half way down the 1st page! They make for some stunning desktop backgrounds

Air New Zealand does use airwork for some of their flights. At christchurch once when I was there ANZ used them because a flight was used for somewhere else.

I thought the Airwork 737 was a 737-219QC? Or am I mistaken in my information again

generally between 3000 and 5000ft around there - can be lower on a visual - can also be higher. had an ANZ B744 do a visual last week was about 8500ft over Howick beach and dropped like a ton of bricks, put it on the numbers and taxied in no worries!

there is the accountants way of flying and then there is REAL flying!

Wow, he must have some lens on the camera there.

Airwork is part-owned by NZ Post Trolly, the 732 is primarily used at night between Auckland and Christchurch for our Fastpost mail products. Typically it would do 2 return trips a night, sometimes 3 depending on volume.
