What an interesting collection.. The 767s are almost a thing of the past. I remember many times as a young fella, pre Ansett, crossing the tarmac at Christchurch, in the rain, to board one bound for Australia. Now they barely exist. Even the 747s are becoming rare now.... :(

My recent trip to the states was peculiar in that I managed to avoid the Airbus scourge completely. F100: Rabaul - POM, 757: POM - SYD, 777: SYD - AKL, 777: AKL - LAX, 777: LAX - AKL, 777: AKL - SYD, 767: SYD - POM, F70: POM - Rabaul...

United have gone back to the 777's now and one diverted on the 4th to CHC due to the massive storm system over Auckland. It went for about 90 min probably longer

It's great how the boys add so much extra 'activity' and background interest to enliven their excellent 'plane pics. :clap: :clap: :clap: :cheers:

I have a 4TB external drive (SSD) which is a fair bit of acreage, but it needs USB2.0 or better or it won't install itself. Of course I only found that out when I got home. It's now on the latest flying machine, and working well :)
