As mentioned in this topic, my brother is over in England at the moment. Here are some snaps he emailed me over, from on board NZ2 which he flew on from Auckland to Heathrow last week:

Descending into LA over Long Beach:

Not sure whats going on here...

An American Airlines MD-82/DC-9:

Climbing out from the City of Angels:

Cruising above the Arizona desert:

Above Buckingham Palace, descending into Heathrow:

Spoilers up!

The 2nd pic of an A380 to be posted by a NZFF member here (I think):

I'll post any more interesting photos I get sent from the UK in this thread.

That's a restaurant over by the terminals (or was at least last time I was there).

Thanks for posting up these Andrew.

Great shots, thanks for sharing!

Re:shot2 It's a crying shame to see the restaurant like that. To come all that way only to have it looking like that I felt really disappointed..

I guess it needs repairs or painting, but it seems just the scaffolds at the moment, no one was working on it when I was there either!

Cheers Alex- You can check on the computer at work how many available seats there are left for your flight (Ask Tom to show you how), there were 33 unsold ones on the flight above, and window seats were acquired upon request at check in- I think the right side of the plane seems to get the best views on a typical approach into both LA and London.

Look forward to seeing your pictures online here- might even bump into you at one of the airshows in the UK (look out for a black NZFF.org T-shirt)
