Airbus A350XWB F-WWYB

Airbus Industries A350XWB test and demonstration aircraft, F-WWYB, departed Auckland late this afternoon on the next leg of its around the world journey.

As "Airbus 305", F-WWYB lifted off Auckland's runway 23L at 1658 into a strong (and cold!) southwest breeze for its direct flight to Santiago, Chile following LAN's Airbus A340 over the same route which had departed around 20 minutes earlier.

It was great to see such a large number of aviation enthusiasts braving the elements to catch its departure!
