A brief visit to Auckland International 18 December netted a trio of aircraft that were of interest to me.
First up was the arrival at the heliport located adjacent to the international terminal building of Advanced Flight's Bell 429 ZK-IUL. It was listed with the Pikes Point, Onehunga based corporate helicopter operator on 07 July 2014 having first been noted at their base in February 2014 registered VP-CUL. Advanced Flight are the sole operator of the three Bell 429's in NZ with the other two machines, ZK-HXW and ZK-IXW also based at Pikes Point.
Next to cruise past the camera lens was Air New Zealand's recently repainted All Black Airbus A320 ZK-OAB arriving from Wellington as NZ418. It was my first opportunity to catch up with it since its return from Townsville on 10 December.
Lastly is Airwork's most recently delivered Boeing 737-400 ZK-PAK parked up awaiting its next mail run to Christchurch.
