RNZAF heavy Boeing 757 NZ7572 was obviously pretty light, given the climb rate.
ATR 72-600 ZK-MVK.
And a trio of Teal tailed Q 300s - ZK-NEE2,
ZK-NEJ,
and ZK-NEK.
Virgin Australia Boeing 737-800 VH-YIG.
Air Chathams Convair CV 580 ZK-CIB3 arrived,
As did the all black Q 300 ZK-NEM.
And finally, what we were all waiting for - Dreamliner ZK-NZN3 departed to the North.
