[TheList] Air NZ Boeing 777 off topic

Thu Feb 10 02:38:30 AEDT 2011

Knowledge slipping there Mr Ellis! How did you miss all the fanfare of its arrival in Auckland a couple of weeks ago?

'twas definately a 777-300ER, rego ZK-OKM, and the largest (wingspan, length) to ever land/take off at Wellington. I promise :-)

http://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/fleet may be of interest.

I'll look into my timezone later, weird.
