Hot off the card big fella. Nephew Chris was off to AKL this morning for a few days of spotting ....but that didn't happen of course, which is a shame.
However, he stayed on-site to spot all the diverts that were scatted all over the airport, and this beauty that we knew was coming back. Jono snapped the same aircraft when it was here yesterday as well (those pics next week)









and not long after that ...







This chap also popped in





And two other rare visitors



Well done Chris , just a shame your trip got canned.

Legends !!! thanks mate. National have some fabulous liveries, think I prefer their blue ones but that beast looks awesome

Woah, are those KC135s?

[Splitpin]

Thanks for looking deeknow, they are indeed 135's. Not sure why they are here, but they are based at MacDill AFB in Florida ...long way from home.
According to the lads they (135's) are heading to Chile tomorrow.

Great photos!!!!!

Engine covers of the 748 reminds me of engine covers of Qantas 747s

Good morning Aharon...thanks for looking, don't you love the 74's, they have to be up there with the greatest aircraft ever ...I think so anyway.

Regarding the 135's, amazing they have a combined age of 122 years, 58, and 64.
Boeing really build/built good stuff.
