A stormy day in Wellington

As forecast, it is a wild weather day today. At one stage winds were gusting around 50 knots at the airport - would hate to think what it was like around some of the hills!

Needless to say,there was not a lot of flying happening around Wellington. It was only late morning that I saw the B737/ A320 aircraft arriving and departing [although there had been a few departures earlier on].

So, just a couple of pictures today of Air New Zealand and Jetstar aircraft taking off. Good on them - although I'm very happy to be on the ground today:-) Top to bottom are:

Airbus A320-232, ZK-OJN, registered to Air New Zealand
Airbus A320-232, VH-VGV, registered to Jetstar Airways
Boeing 737-3U3, ZK-NGD, registered to Air New Zealand [2 photos]

More from the new vantage point

Here are the next in my series from Strathmore... In this case, an Air New Zealand A320 is taking off from Wellington. Obviously the 10x optical zoom helps :-) but it is still impressive to see.
