Just a ceremonial handing over of the "keys" being as Air NZ is the launch customer. JAL may actually get theirs first and will certainly be flying them on the line first as they have dash 8 experience and the pilots will be already rated and experienced.

Well great news, but ugh, why did Air NZ do black instead of the blue-green?

Now changed after 45 years in service with Teal Colours, they changed to black??? Rather boring.

Nice photo Andy, good comparing the size, yellow jackets give a good interpretation of size, one thing I noticed comparing the 767 taxi past after the Chinese 800 at Christchurch early this year.
