After flying the elusive ZK-NHE the other day, I can now say I've flown every jet (A320,787,777) in operation with Air NZ. My window to say that was rapidly closing with the imminent arrival of a leased 777 and our latest A321.

Aurora Australis enroute from Sydney to Wellington. Fantastic to see. Was different to my experience with Aurora Borealis which seems to dance in front of you. This seemed like more of a constant glow. #AuroraAustralis

From a geopolitical perspective, a very interesting NOTAM out for Noumea at the moment. Russian and Belarusian aircraft are banned from operating in New Caledonian airspace. Velina Tchakarova #Geopolitics

Having had the good fortune to travel through Syria 24 years ago and experience the amazing warmth and friendliness of the people despite their repression, I hope for the best for them over the coming weeks.

Southern hemisphere night sky looking SSW from FL340. Upgraded to a Pixel 9 Pro XL and the results have been encouraging so far.
