Auckland Plane Spotting Photos

A separate section for photographers to upload and comment on everything from amateur plane spotting images to professional air to air shots.

After hearing on my scanner that Auckland International (NZAA) had switched the active runway from 23L to 23R (A Taxiway) I jumped in my car and made my way down to the airport as soon as I could for another plane spotting session. The reason I was so excited was because the flightpath of all the inbound airport would be really really close to the lookout area, much closer than before, and therefore I would hopefully get some great photos.

It was pretty late in the afternoon when I arrived, and as the sun was setting, I got some excellent shots of the light reflecting off some fuselarges. When I got home and checked the camera, some of the pictures looked so good that like they had been edited already, but I can assure you that none of them have!

3) This shot of the landing ANZ Boeing 767 was an accidently zoomed in to close, but I thought I'd use it anyway as it shows the aircraft detail quite well
