Just discovered this fine video ! What lovely sounds & happy memories to my first spotting hours at Antwerpen airport, when Sabena used to operate a bunch of classic B.737-200’s ! Thank you for posting this gem, greetings from Belgium 👍👍👍
Hush kits... ugh. At least there's still a couple in this vid that don't have them. I'm proud to say that of the 6 times I flew on one of these in NZ, none of the aircraft had been hush kitted :)
Wonder if those hush kits really make a noticeable reduction in sound to casual observer. I know I never could tell any sound reduction when the 727s flew over my house back in late 90s when hush kitted.
@@HoranoPatoromo it has modified it making the font larger in 2008 and making the font a little larger but in 2016 this time it was a grey colour and the Kangaroo got larger and started to blend in on the tail
Good old 737's. I used to watch these in Wellington (Moa Point) and Christchurch. Much prefer the old colours too. Not a fan of the new Air New Zealand black - think they look awful.
Those early birds looked and sounded great.
Ah good memories right here..Wish planes still sounded like this today

I miss the old Air NZ colours, the modern black and white Air NZ livery is so fugly.

Wow more awesome footage! I miss the noisy old 200's... even with hushkits they were still loud and proud :-)
nice thanks for uploading is love the classic 737 :)
Wow the ex-Air Malta B732!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks man you made my day
Awesome! 👍🇳🇿
God, they were noisy, use to live under the flight path in Auckland. When Ansett introduced the BA146, it was like chalk and cheese.
Handsome plane!
Boy those things can climb! And with what seems like hardly any flaps
Very nice to see/hear. Any footage of the Ansett New Zealand B737-100s a few years earlier?!
Why doesnt air nz re introduce this livery. Looks fantastic

I’d like to own one of the homes overlooking the field : with my scanner next to me , never to leave home.
The 767 at about 12:12 is a rare sight.
And that pan afterwards... Metros, Saabs, a Convair and a DC3 too!
and 12:32

Hush kits. Anyone else notice??.
Is that what the extra cowling at the rear is?
Yes
One doesn't see many with those hush-kits
Did the hush kits bring it Stage 2? Certainly not Stage 3.
Wow! aft-fan? or afterburner?
Hush kit
737-200 and airforce 727 are so noisy . But i love those planes!! 777 are much quieter than those planes .
B737 200
5:00 Plane crashed in kyrgyzstan in 2008
They used so much of the runway
Not sure why? They had s scheduled service to Napier and that was only a 1400m runway.

Lack of color. Also the Koru and Fern look incompatible together. They seem to be competing with each other
Transamerica (Ex TIA)colours ! Except the logo on the drift ... :)
