AC/DC flies in on an Airbus A318 Elite

Today's "unusual" visitor is an Airbus A318-112 CJ Elite. Although the rego is obscured, I believe that this is 9H-AFL, registered to Comlux Aviation Malta. The aircraft bought in the members of AC/DC [some small unknown music group or something ... :-)] and a few hangers on.

Although I don't claim to be a fan [and never will], the event is a big one for Wellington with two concerts planned.

  1. I know the 319 is a short bird, but that wide angle makes it look positively ridiculous!

  2. Actually, it's an A318, so only 31.44 meters long. Some details on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A320_family

    Cheers!
