AC/DC fly out to Auckland

AC/DC's second Wellington concert was last night [Saturday]. This afternoon they jumped on their chartered Airbus A318-112 CJ Elite, 9H-AFL, to fly to Auckland. As you can see from these photos [and you could compare to photos taken over the last few days], the weather is back to "usual", wet and windy, although not too cold.

I understand that the departure was delayed for a short time when the aircraft was turned around into wind and a wing may have come in to contact with a ladder [or similar]. If true, not a good way for someone to impress their boss, although it can't have been too serious since the aircraft flew out.

Pictures are of the aircraft taxying, then on the departure. Although rather gloomy and wet, I guess at least it wasn't raining too hard. Lastly, note how the pictures accentuate how short this aircraft is compared to the A320's that normally fly in and out of Wellington.
