Hi guys,

This morning I flew Air New Zealand flight 28 from Auckland to Rarotonga.

Scheduled Departure Time: 1610 (local)
Scheduled Arrival Time: 2105 (local)

Thats an en-route time of roughly 3 hours 55 minutes. This flight is in the Boeing 767-319.
Anyway, to the pics .


On the ground at Auckland


There was a very cheerful gate guy standing around staring at me - very suspicious


Lining up on 05R


Climbing up to FL350


Cruising at FL350, it really looks almost mean doesn't it?


The sun starts to set as we get closer to out destination


Moonrise


The sun getting closer ... and closer to the horizon


The moon is rising, the sun has set, you think it will be as light?


Touching the moon


Turning for the ILS Runway 08 approach (about 20mins out), on the way into Rarotonga, I flew "KIWI - FOLK - MATA"


Backtracking to the apron


On blocks, waiting for the AirStairs

Thanks for watching, I hope you liked.

The gate guy must be okay -- he's got a badge!

Always like your photo framing, good show ALex.
Do you have an LCD monitor?
I looked at these on a CRT and the detail is all but lost in the dark shots.

I dunno, I think his badge might be fake, it got really blurry when I tried to look at it closely.

Thanks Charl, yea, I'm using an LCD monitor, but the night shots aren't great anyway (except for the runway one which I like ).

Alex
