Freighters at Auckland

After the Mosquito launch airshow, I spent some time at Auckland Airport photographing the comings and goings. While there I got to meet Steve L of the 3rdlevelNZ blog [one of my favourites and well worth a visit!].

Three aircraft that particularly my attention were the following freighters arriving in the evening.

Top to bottom are:

Boeing 747-47UF, N492MC, operated by Atlas Air, on behalf of Qantas Airways

Boeing 767-381F, VH-EFR, registered to Qantas Airways

and my personal favourite... a Mad Dog 11!
