Crossing

An unusual shot, as on this day in 2010 I was standing on the tarmac at Wellington to take this. The occasion was the opening of “The rock” (or “potato” for some people) International Terminal.

Jetstar Airbus A320, VH-VQA, climbs out from RWY16 as Air New Zealand Boeing 737-300, ZK-NGK taxies past. It was pretty close to ‘NGK’s 10th birthday, having been registered in November 2000.

The Jetstar aircraft has just lifted off (right to left) and is climbing steeply. The Air New Zealand aircraft is in the foreground taxying left to right and is slightly motion-blurred. Behind are hangars and buildings and hillside suburbs.
