Christchurch to Auckland

[bernd1151]

Air New Zealand has from my point of view some of the best liveries in the world today. We all remember the 744 Middle Earth. Early this year they came out with a paint scheme for their 777-300ER, called “All Blacks†for their national rugby team’s colour. According to Boeing, it was one of the most challenging paint jobs, Boeing has ever done on a commercial plane.

Pushed back from the gate in Christchurch for our late afternoon flight to Auckland.

The silver fern and the Koru symbol look fantastic.

Climbing out to 10,000 ft

ATC told us to level off at 10,000 ft and maintain 260 knots. Now we have permission to climb to FL 320 with no speed restrictions

Flight time is going to be 1 hour and 15 min

As advised we level off at FL320

Descending into Auckland Intern. NZAA

Decision Height. We can clearly see the approach lights and will execute a visual landing

Thanks for viewing

Thanks glennav8r for the link. I have searched on avsim and was lucky to find that new ANZ livery for my POSKY 777-300. It will sure make for some nice new screenies
