2:19 7:33 great takeoff and landing

I was due to land in Wellington a few years back but was fairly certain that wouldnt happen as Id been told half the roof had blown off - i think Id pick Welly any day over Palmerston North on a bad day 😂

Hope you can get all of these historic airframes home Ive noticed that ZK-OJA has been stored a few years ago im not sure how much time it has left but probably not historic enough to consider saving

Surely its not that hard ?

Flew on one of these when they had the Dallas Fort Worth signage - just in front of the upper deck windows. AKL - LAX via Fiji.

Good job they bought the B737 instead of the BAC 1-11. Had NZ bought the British plane the Brits. would have thrown NZ under the bus at EEC negotiations just the same.

Filmed 30 years ago, and yet with far more quality (for its time and technological means available at that time) than a lot of you tube modern equipement videos and content nowadays. Should be transfered to digital.

Absolutely awesome. ✈ And this video was uploaded over 10 years ago. How on earth did I not know about this channel sooner!

crazy to believe OAB is almost 14 years old

I'm 45 so I'm just old enough to remember flying these and the OG 737s every summer going from California to Ohio to visit family. Tons of United fights from Fresno to the old Stapleton in Denver

Instead of koala airlines, they should bring back the Ansett Name. ,,if I was a billionaire, I definitely would

Absolutely love Wellington Airport! When at Uni in Wellington, my flatmates & I would go to the south end, Cook Straight end, climb over rocks and sit right under flight path and "planespot". Exciting watching them bump, and wobble as they pass over you so low you could shake hands w pilot!

Love it

12 years ago, well pre -COVID-19. How time flies. 1968 Q4, afternoon landing from Chatham's in a Bristol Freighter, either RK or LT. Exciting gale force cross wind landing, with the surf crest spume higher than the Bristol. The airport was closed to prop aircraft after we wiggled our way to the SAFE terminal. That big tall tailfin was a great wind catcher. 😮

I’ve never seen something like this! May I feature this go around in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you!

Tasmania airport in Launceston was great to watch planes. All changed now like everything else 😢

Rest in peace ZK NZP.

I prefer the original blue & green stripes, over the new coloured livery of now day's., and prefer also the Boeing 737-200 rather than the A320's fleet. Have been on the 737-200 lots of times, like..... wow! what a step climber🛫👍

Just found out Anz had Boeing 747s

No audio?

Why did they turn off engine 3 after touch down

Modern passengers wouldn’t believe how much planes world wide stank of cigarettes in those days.

So many times circling above Wellington. Many landings where everyone claps

Very nice footage…thanks….I just got a model of it …today…04augustus24.

Ii will donate my time labour

Those early birds looked and sounded great.

6:06, and no soul…

This is awesome!!!

G-BYAF Boeing 757-200 leased from Britannia by Freedom Air at 02:34. Freedom was started by Mount Cook Airline in CHC, and the 757 was their startup aircraft before they got their own 737-300's later.

Awesome!.. thanks mate 👍✈️🇳🇿

they were nice jets but made a lot of noise leaving Wellington they used to shake the ground.They fitted hush kits to try and cut down the noise these worked quite well.

I never got to ride in a 727. There are so few left of her now in commercial service. But maybe one day...

This Old Spiral 7:57 engine rb211 from Air New Zealand 1999 to Virgin Atlantic 747-200 2005

Sad day much history made sorry for old pilots that flew her gd bless

No Tonkin hwy . No international airport.

So good to see the beautiful 747.

Flew Auckland to tonga on budget airline and it is very good

I remember the days.

Vamos a nueva Zelanda ❤

Thanks for posting! What a wonderful little time capsule....a -200 with eyebrow windows...the stewardesses in their 'lollipop' uniforms...."extinguish your cigarettes before take off"...the residual influence of BBC English on the New Zealand accent... A different world

I flew the Fokker Friendship in the early 1970s 😮❤.

Flew on one of these in January 1982 from Auckland to Christchurch and back for the South Island family holiday. Fantastic!

Flew on the air new Zealand DC 10 twice.when we landed back we actually had stairs and you could see the massive size of them.magere domestic airport was also the international.no passport to Australia it was a domestic flight back then.when I think about it it must of been just replacing the DC 8.

Have only been here once and thankfully got smooth conditions. Great video though - do you mind if I feature on of the first clips in a video? With full link back to your channel / credit of course. Cheers

There was always something quite Cool to me about the 737-200, was a good little work horse! And it introduced me to a life long love of aircraft and flying! 👍

Gorgeous ! I love the Boeing 727. I'm sorry to see it leave the flying world. It's interesting how the Krueger Flaps flapped backwards under the wing, and the leading edge slats slid backwards over and into the top of the wings. Aarre Peltomaa

Oh the good old days when the 747s were a regular sight in Perth skies.

Recuerdo cuando venía de Comodoro Rivadavia a Buenos Aires era el último vuelo del Comandante,no recuerdo su nombre dijo que el 727 tenía la mejor ala construida por la Boeing,a demás era instructor de ese avión en los Simuladores de Aer.Argentinas Como era su último vuelo realizó un vuelo rasante de 50 metros por Aeroparque Ciudad de Bs.Aires. FACINANTE !!...

I prefer this livery. To the point and not cluttered.

Sadly he passed away a few weeks ago RIP 🙏
