A North Island Road Trip 25 years ago #11

Mount Cook Airline at Rotorua on 23 January 1992... Above Fokker Friendship ZK-BXF and below Hawker Siddeley 748 ZK-CWJ... I never liked the cheat lines going up on the tail on the 748... The Freindships's scheme is much better in my opinion.

  1. Seeing these has definitely brought back some very fond memories of the past at rotorua. Lunchtime rush of two Hs748s Ansett shooting stars Dash 8 100 and the Bae 146 and Air NZ 737 200

  2. I actually love the cheatline going up the tail. Miss that iconic blue red and yellow cheatlines and the Lilly.
