Shalom and greetings all my pals,

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

Passengers sitting on right side are not lucky not to be able to have nice sunrise view

Sunrise colors are certainly strange

Don't you love sunrise view?

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 :worried: :worried: :worried:

Thank you for viewing! Stay tuned for next exciting flight.

Regards,

Aharon

Lovely stuff Aharon. I love the old Air New Zealand liveries. Always thought the DC-10 was the Tristars ugly sister, but she looks well there. :thumbsup:

Thanks Aharon!

A great set of screenshots. I've always loved the DC-10, but am probably biased as my first flight in a widebodied jet was aboard Laker Airways DC-10-10 G-AZZD 'Western Belle' when I was ten years old. I agree with Ben, that the ANZ colours suit the airframe very well.
Which model is it? I recently re-bought the Justflight DC-10 in a sale.

Regards

Kevin

Kevin, Yes I remember Laker Airways and Sir Freddie Laker.

The model is good old fashioned 14 year old SGA DC-10 model that can be found on HJG website offering improved flight dynamics and free DC-10 panel.

Aharon
