Today's "very interesting, very rare, very exciting" series of photos is of an Airbus A340-313, EP-AJA, operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran/ Meraj Air!!!
I think the last A340 at Wellington would have been a
Gulf Air flight way back in November 2009 [someone correct me please if I'm wrong]! Aside from that, I'm not sure when the last Iranian-registered aircraft would have flown into New Zealand.
Anyway, on to the photos. I took a lot of them, but these are some of the best I have. I might publish a few more later on...

Saw it fly over Tawa this afternoon. Very impressive.
Hi Graeme... yep and a big plane... awesome!
Any idea when it will be departing? Would be great to see.
It belongs to the Government and probably flew there for an official visit.
My daughter saw this roll in while we were eating at the Spruce Lyall Bay. She was looking past me and said Dad, A plane from the Islamic Republic of Iran just went past the window.. I laughed and said yeah right. Turned around and there it was. It went to the very end of the runway and turned around to follow a lead vehicle back to the terminal. Impressive sight I have to say.
Beautiful plane!! Tracking this all the way from Bangkok.

Hello earlier Anonymous': I hear it might depart Monday sometime. It was certainly a surprise to see it pop up on the flight tracking software, and good to see it here for a visit!
Just saw this on the news and immediately came to see if you captured this - Awesome shots mate!
Thank you Jason! Much appreciate it, and hey, it's fun for me also :-)
Apparently here for a trade delegation yesterday...hmmm...is it coincidence that many of our farmers are struggling and land prices are going to drop dramatically......just a thort..
Anyone think its suspicious that the a US Air force C17 and the Iran flight were here at the same time???
