A DC10 at AKL, 1984.

The DC10 was the first wide-bodied jet to be purchased by Air New Zealand and for that matter, most other world airlines. It remains a classic of its day. I really like the form of the DC10. Since it and the Lockhead tristar, there hasn't been any need for wide-bodied tri-jets. This very scratchy photo, I dug up, taken from my first camera, is of a UTA DC10 at AKL international in 1984! This airline no longer exists and was, if I recall correctly, an airline designed to serve the far-flung French speaking parts of the world.

Boeing 737-200.

The Boeing 737 is possibly one of the world's most common short-haul jets. They're great to fly, as you're virtually guaranteed a window seat! The 737 family has evolved quite a bit. This is a picture of the workhorse of the Air New Zealand fleet taken in 1992 at an airshow at Auckland International airport. It is a 737-200 in Air New Zealand's 1990s colours.

A330-200

This is an A330-200 (I hope I got that right and it's not a -300!) at Fukuoka Airport in Japan. These planes are sort of the airbus answer to the Boeing 777, but I prefer to fly in the B777; they are far more roomy inside. There's also something about the Airbus body I just don't like... though the wings on this thing look great.
