Guest Darren Masters Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Nice view through the binoculars from my place! Green fuselage and blue engines. Anyone know where she is headed? Christchurch or Auckland? Anybody know when she will return? Nice looking plane. Here is a screenshot from PlanePlotter below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darren Masters Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Thanks Chainy Yes, I believe it is. It did the same overfly last year a day before today, ie, 4/11/07. Was a Sunday afternoon and saw it then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzom_pilot Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Correct with Christchurch - they are international fishing fleet crew transfer flights. They fly the new crew in from Uzbekistan and then the old crew returns to Uzbekistan. Usually 3 or 4 flights a year from memory. The outbound flight is scheduled to depart Christchurch tomorrow Friday 7th at 1430 local so 1230 Sydney time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
