This aircraft arrived at Wellington earlier today., but left around 5pm-ish for a quick trip to Blenheim/ Woodbourne and back. Sources indicate that among the passengers was the Hon Gerry Brownlee, who appears to have found yet another way to avoid the airport queues :-)... but serious, as Minister of Defence, I suspect that this might be a precursor to the rumoured announcement of the RNZAF purchasing 2-3 of these aircraft in the next 12 months, Yes, I'm calling it - with a 75% probability - so not certain, but close enough. We will see.
Anyway, here is the picture!

Carrying the fat bastard Brownlee - he is too heavy for the 757?
No comment!
Wouldn't it be cool to have those in our air force?! Lets hope.
If we get two of them can we name them "Tom" and "Gerry" ;-)
ha ha ha. Possibly!
We have another one arriving on Sunday 6th of March at 1645hrs FYI
Thanks for the info Anon! I'll be out there if I can make it!
