Presenting a nice DC-10 flight from NZAA Auckland Airport located 13 miles south of city centre of Auckland to NZCH Christchurch International Airport 12 kilometres to the northwest of the city centre of Christchruch,
After take off and heading south with nice wing view of waters of Whaingaroa Harbour leading inside north island of New Zealand shown on far left and waters of Hauraki Gulf shown below the wing's tip as well as waters of Tasman Sea under jet engine
Sunrise shine on DC-10
Passengers sitting on right side are not lucky not to be able to have nice sunrise view
Cruising
Sunrise colors are certainly strange
Don't you love sunrise view?
Day is getting brighter

At 3,000 ft getting ready for approach to runway 02 where you can see in background another Air New Zealand plane on his or her final runway approach and you can see highway route number one also known as Main S Road under the plane

Front landing gear making ground contact
You can see how busy NZCH Christchurch airport was during Christchurch Vatsim event where you can see long line of planes taxiing to runway although I do not know how or why JAL Japan Air Line 747 took off from runway 02 using very very very short runway distance
Thank you for viewing! Stay tuned for next exciting flight.
