NZ 1 - London Heathrow to Los Angeles - Air NZ 777-300ER (ZK-OKP) - Beautiful sunset landing

Описание: This was the start of my journey back home to NZ via Los Angeles again. Once again, so many thanks to Air New Zealand for the fantastic service! It's not surprising they were airline of the year in 2010 and they deserve to be airline of the year again!

The takeoff from Heathrow was FULL POWER takeoff, so that's why the video was kind of shaky. Then while we were climbing out of Heathrow, I saw some amazing cumulonimbus cloud higher up (not visible from the ground!). Even thousands of feet up in the air where it's beyond freezing, the sunlight burnt pretty badly! Enjoy the video!

We had a beautiful sunset approach and landing into Los Angeles, just as the red ball of the sun was retreating behind the hills on the horizon... Golden moments!

Please like and comment if you enjoy the video! It helps a lot just to click that thumbs up and it means a lot to me :-)

This vid includes pushback, startup, taxi, takeoff, cruise, approach and landing (basically a bit of everything)
