I was at Auckland Int. Airport today and managed to get a few new snaps:

6) ZK-NEE touching down on runway 23R while a Qantas 737 holds its position


Sorry there is not as much variety this time, I was only at the lookout for a few minutes and seemed to miss all the wide-bodied jets. Also, the quality looks a bit weird, I think I had the camera on the wrong setting so please excuse that too.

On the way home I saw a weird coloured plane and could not make out what airline it was, so perhaps someone could help me. It was orange/red on the top and tail and white on the bottom half of the fuselage. It was landing at NZAA at about 2:10pm and looked like a B767/777 or A330 :?:

Cheers,
Trolly

Nice pics! The aircraft you saw was probably an Australian Airlines B763, it's operated a couple of flights to Auckland that are normally just regular Qantas services lately.
I'll have to upload some of my own photos here when I get time!

Edit - Here's a link to a recent photo of that Australian 763 at Auckland:

Thanks for the comments and info FlyingKiwi,

I guessed it might be Australian Airlines, but could not figure out why they would be visiting NZ, although it makes sense as they are a subsidy of Qantas.

On my FS2004 AI package (Ultimate Traffic), all my Australia Airline aircraft are painted in the old green and white scheme, so I didn't make that connection straight away.
