October 13th 1974, and I am already aboard a NAC (National Airways Corporation) Boeing 737 for my flight to Christchurch (returning home after eight days in Fiji). This was shot through the plane window.
ZK-NZA is Air New Zealand's first DC-8 (a DC-8-52) and DC-8s were operated from 1965 through to 1981, the later couple of years mainly in freight operation.
In the right background construction is underway on Auckland's new International terminal, and directly behind the ZK-NZA is a nearly brand new DC-10-30 (Air NZ started getting these in 1973).
I twice flew from Christchurch to Nadi, Fiji on DC-8 flights. They operated on Tuesday and Thursday evening and left Christchurch about 6:00pm, with a short stop in Wellington and then direct to Nadi.
