Who's private B762 at AKL

[cavemanzk]

Anyone know who's Boeing 767-200, that was parked by the Jetstar gates last night at AKL.

Its rego was something like N767*

[troppo]

N2767?
Google it :D

[20milesout]

A good one, troppo :ok:

my guessing: N767KS or N767MW

[lilflyboy262]

Yeah I was trying to figure it out too. I'll see if Air Center One was ground handling it then I'll let you know who it was.

Thanks lilflyboy262 (http://www.pprune.org/members/296525-lilflyboy262).

I just looked up N767KS or N767MW it wasn't them them unless they have had a paint job recently.

EDIT: Found a photo of it! N767A

Ah most interesting, the dots all line up. The 767 is owned by Saudi Aramco, who through their subsidiary Aramco Associated Co own the G550 that's been under 24 hour guard by avsec down by Air Centre One.
Saudi Aramco is the state owned oil company from Saudi Arabia. My guess is it they that bought about a billion NZD on Wall St the other week that helped our dollar shoot up a bit. They will need that cash to purchase the Shell operation in NZ which is up for sale.

i will find out from my job who the plane belongs to

Just a thought for you bored pilots.

Air Centre one, if there handling it will not be able to give out the owners name.....lol Don't be nieve .
Owners of PRIVATE jets have them for many reasons, one being security and safety.
So if the FBO gets known to release such information and someone puts it on a public forum then there business goes down. So out of respect for all concerned, if you get off on looking at these a/c, well go ahead. Dont let it effect someones business.
Having spent 6 years in corporate, it becomes tedious being harrased with such questions.
:ugh:

[disturbedone]

It flew to Singapore this morning.

[belowMDA]

40 STH, relax. In days gone by maybe an FBO could be held to account if info leaked out, but now, with the plethora of information on the interweb it's pretty hard to hide these things. Even more so when the 767 bears the company logo on the tail. :}

BTW They're, Naive, Their, Affect.

That machine lives in Jeddah on apron 16 along with a couple of BBJ's.

Saudi Aramco

Plus stands 93-95 aren't the greatest place to hide your 762.

[assymetric]

I can tell you who it doesn't belong too.

Okay, I can't keep the secret any longer...it's mine and it travels the world to do endorsements. It will be back in 6 months. I am accepting deposits in advance. Don't wait to reserve your place in line. Send cash or cheque attached to a silver Mercedes. Don't delay.

[KING PIN]

yup those stands are mainly used for all the charter and business personal planes .. unless its a private jet or king or queen of spain or something like that they use stand 18 or 19..... or even stand 79

hey cavemanzk where abouts do you work at the airport?

[lilflyboy262]

40deg sth. curious to who your are. I actually work for AC1. Probably know you.

[Fratemate]

Lodown, can you swap your aircraft for a -300? I think the -200 is too short and it doesn't look right. An aircraft less likely to tarnish your image is surely reason enough to get a new, longer one.

That's better :ok::

Fratemate, trust me its a bit nicer that those ANA freight birds.

It does fly just like a bog standard 767 :ok:

[Fratemate]

Hey, those ANA freight birds are very nice, thank you very much (well, the 'F's are better than the 'BCF's) :8.

In all honesty, I've never found such well maintained and clean aircraft and I've flown the pax version for a major airline player. Admittedly, they do lack the gold taps, plush carpet and big beds that 767A probably has but I still reckon the -200 is too stocky (plus I bet the pilots of that 76 get complaints when they do the sort of landings I do, without any complaints apart from the bloke next to me) :ok:.

[atyourcervix73]

Frate......

Boeing puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssh :E

[Lodown]

Fratemate, my wife says the same thing to me and wishes she could upgrade to a newer 300 model with more length and longer endurance, but it's all a compromise between economy, comfort, performance, capacity, load and handling that matter in the end. I tell her that at her age, the longer endurance just means that she'll get a sore back from the additional time in the cockpit. And besides, any longer than an hour in any cockpit becomes tedious. As an illustration, a little aerobatic piece doesn't have the size of the bigger brethen but will absolutely blow her socks off for pure excitement and exhilaration. As for the longer fuselage; this is easily explained away. I tell her that I'm sure she's handled large fuselages before and despite the initial delight, the subsequent performance is often a major letdown as it becomes clear that they are less stable than their shorter cousins and are more likely to suffer from fatigue issues.

The A/C lives in Houston, and the Saudi Oil Minister likes to hike in the mountains.....
