Spanish A310 in Wellington

[Airtrainer]

This aircraft delivered the King and Queen of Spain to Wellington on Monday night, it then departed on Wednesday for Canberra.

Just a few shots before it took off. The late Wednesday morning Intl flight.




The A310 on the Military Apron, currently getting some gas.

A random 737 taking-off



At the end of runway 34 ready for take-off, note the vapor in the engine intakes


Was airbourne before stub 5 (think airport fire), sorry for the lamp post but I liked the sharp take-off angle




Gear up and off to Canberra

Sorry for the image quality, they looked much better before I shrunk them.

cool. I had no idea that it had come to Wellington.
How'd you get onto the ramp?

I work for the boys and girls who wear the smurf blue, though we call it "Avsec Blue".

Really nice shots Airtrainer I really like all of them.
Looks like a steep rotation for the A310

See now thats an AIRBUS , it was they A310s that held a fuel per PAX Kg/Litre per km .. i dig up the details ... most would find it quite impressive , I recall the A300B4 prototype visiting Christchurch , doing a round the world demo , prity much the same but longer of course .
