Default End Of An Era

After 32 years of service, Air New Zealand operated their final Boeing B767 flight today, with ZK-NCI taking the final flight honours as NZ108 from Sydney to Auckland. The aircraft also operated
NZ101/NZ102 earlier in the day.

The plan was to video the last landing and takeoff, however a late change on Runway for the arrival, and showers on departure, forced me to use archive video of ZK-NCI & ZK-NCG for this short
tribute to an amazing aircraft type.

I have enjoyed 62 flights on the B767 with Qantas, Air New Zealand, LAN and American Airlines, plus 4 hours flight time at the controls in the B767 Simulator.

A incredibly versatile and solid aircraft that is sadly vanishing from our skies.
