Final Air New Zealand 747 [ZK-NBV] Flight Landing at Auckland Airport as NZ7

[@ymmlspottingteam]

Absolutely gorgeous touchdown... So smooth and beautiful!! It must of been a very, very, very sad touchdown to witness in real life!! Thank you so much mate for braving to morning chills and catching this piece if aviation history!! The taxi past the 789 was just amazing to see... Breathtaking... The coming and the going, all in the one frame!! I'm a little disappointed there was no Water Canon Salute... By far one of the best 757 liveries ever... Thank you -NBV and the rest of the past ANZ 747 fleet. Thank you for 33 years work of incredible memories!! RIP

I loved the Air NZ 747's, they looked so glorious and amazing, I'm not sure wether is was Thai Airways or NZ but I flew on one of these to Thailand and it was amazing to be on one and made me really happy

[@MiJiTHD]

They absolutely were!

Wonderful video of the last 747 commercial landing! Smooth touchdown and perfect music! I liked and subscribed!

My dad was on this flight. And it's very sad to see these planes go.

[@MiJiTHD]

Toby Corbett Your Dad is very lucky. I miss these aircraft also.

[@fallenangel_899]

why did they have to go?

[@MiJiTHD]

Alatay Newer aircraft means less cost to the airline, plus Air NZ would rather be more flexible with the 777's and not always have the capacity of a 747 especially to Australia when the 777 or 787 is more suited.

COOL video.. Sad story

[@vinniebanks2206]

thank you jumbo :) :(

I’ve only been on a Qantas “747”

[@AvgeekCarGeek]

Sad to see that Air New Zealand didn't order at least 747-8. But tbh no body is really buying the 747-8 hopefully this changes because 747 needs to be in the skies for many years to come.

[@MiJiTHD]

Yeah, Air New Zealand should've ordered some. It would've been great to continue seeing the Air NZ colours on the 747's. I agree but the problem is that airlines don't see the flexibility of the 747-8. But soon in the future Air NZ will sign a deal with Boeing for the 777-9X.

What did they do with their 747 fleet?

[@MiJiTHD]

+02Nawal Mostly scrapped, and others have become freighters with other airlines.

[@02Nawal]

+MiJiT HD (Auckland Aviation) is that even safe to fly such an old plane with aging equipment as a freighter?

[@MiJiTHD]

02Nawal The 747 is much more reliable than most people think. They're very popular as freighters and are one of the most reliable and durable aircraft in the world. Besides, these would all be fitted with the latest glass cockpits.

Nice video

[@charlienorton2337]

They NEED to get a 747 8i at least one

[@kingwindsor23]

we flew on this plane... London Gatwick /Los Angles /Auckland return, on a Free Staff ticket for £22 RETURN back in 1991.... the £22 was for US immigration fees...

[@MiJiTHD]

Today you can't get away with that price on a staff ticket. It's at least NZ$150 on each leg to LHR now.

Ataahua landing👍

[@stevies.1975]

I had to give it a thumbs up for the moment, but tbh, no sound and pretty crap filming really did it no justice..... Shame there was no ‘salute’.....

[@MiJiTHD]

Multiple reasons why this is. I was new to filming at the time, had a really bad tripod, and as for the sound, the location I was at was basically a glass box and there was absolutely no sound from the outside but only other people talking from the inside. I had some fitting music for the moment over the top but months later the music had to be removed due to copyright so I was left with no sound at all.

[@stevies.1975]

MiJiT HD Aviation Hey! Thanks for taking the time to respond and explaining. It makes sense. Might help if you were able to put that in the description, then plonkers like me needn’t be so critical, if you get my drift? 😉

[@MiJiTHD]

I understand. It wasn't something I considered before.

[@Sam-747]

It’s sad that they sold it but the “747” is getting old now so they should have old it

[@Sam-747]

Sold

[@Sam-747]

I meant the “747” got sold
