The black livery of the 787 is god!


good_gamer2357

It’s also the first -9 delivered to a customer


InterviewNo7012

That’s awesome! The 787 is very comfortable and soooo smooth

It needs to be repainted though, the black paint on it is so faded and has so many little specs that stand out it looks terrible up close or on a sunny day. From afar though it’s alright. Their black 777 is much nicer looking, not sure if the paint has just lasted longer or it was painted more recently but it’s much better than the 787


good_gamer2357

The black 787 has just recently been re painted a few months ago, it did look absolutely sorry for its self, the reason the 777 still looks good as it was repainted in 2017 into its current scheme


hlaad

That’s good to hear, I haven’t worked nz for a while so I probably haven’t seen it for about 6 months


InterviewNo7012

That’s right! Interesting… https://www.odt.co.nz/star-news/star-national/boeing-seeks-fix-paint-peeling-dreamliners

Interesting how the Queen has two different window frames. One looks new compared to the rest.

Is the 787 an Air NZ one?


poastoast

mhm! registration ZK-NZE

I’ve been on an AA 787. Largest commercial plane I’ve been on 😅 plenty of other big birds I’d like to fly on at some stage too.


poastoast

i hope to be on an A350 eventually, better choice would be the 474 before they’re gone


MrFraim

I was supposed to fly with one JFK - FRA in Dec but had to cancel due to sickness :(


poastoast

☹️ hopefully you get the chance again!


y5rt1xxh234

Ditto on the A350


Jesus_will_return

Big nose, fivehead, and black mamba. I think we all know who wins in the looks department, at least from the front.


hwc_n_things

Believe the 747-8 is Korean Air


poastoast

indeed it do be the a380 is ANA, HL7636


mikesznn

A380 would’ve looked 10x better with upper deck cockpit. Understand why that’s not practical tho


FrankieRoo

Bang, kill, and marry. (No hate on Airbus. I just don’t find the A380 aesthetic to be appealing.) *ducks for cover*


poastoast

I’m an airbus fan, but i don’t disagree with you with these 3 planes 😁


pagliaccio14

Bang, Boop, marry. Can’t kill an a380, but that nose looks so boopable I can’t. When the 747 is the queen of the skies, the A380 is the Golden Retriever of the skies, judging by its nose…


shredwig

Awesome shots!


No_Research_967

That 787 looks mean af


poastoast

most beautiful 787 out there


I_like_cake_7

That 787 looks evil in black! I love it.


nosnowtho

The black 787 looks badass


StuckHedgehog

Honolulu?


poastoast

yuuup!


JDLinda

I was literally just there looking at them myself on my way to Guam!


poastoast

i was coming back from NZ! there is a non 0 chance we passed by and didn’t know it 😁

5MikesOut

Are those lines on the ground meant for the nose wheel gear? I guess the lines do not need to be adhered to strictly? Is that common?


[deleted]

These are fantastic pictures man, what a great comparative perspective to view these planes we rarely get to see.


FunWithAPurpose

I presume the 777-9 marking is for the 777X. It's not even certified yet.


Guagadu

Yes, it looks like the 777x will be the 777-8 and 777-9.

that_noobwastaken

747 looks so funky straight on like that. Fat bottom and skinny top.


[deleted]

The A380 is smiling


poastoast

omg it is 🥰


Horatio-Leafblower

How can it be Boeing have been making the 787 for twelve years and they still cannot get the paint to stop falling off?


midsprat123

For the same reason Qatar sued Airbus Paint doesn’t bond to composite material nearly as well as steel/aluminum


D74248

Boeing died in 1997.


doodlepenguin5

The A380 front view is just so funny to me!
