Booked and seated as Aerolineas Argentinas 737 and only realised it was Austral Embreaer 190 when I went to OLCI. Neither of us have ever been on one. Nice little plane with tiny IFE screen and really little windows. Iguazu to EZE 26/06

LATAM A320 from Lima to Puerto Maldonado. The first of a series of late departing LATAM flights. 01/07
 
Puerto Maldonado's runway down the wing of our LATAM A319 or 320 (not sure what it was that day) 03/07

An Amazonas ? from the window of our LATAM 319 or 320 as we return to Lima from La Paz

American Airlines, Continental and Air NZ 787s (8 and 9), our Air NZ 773 to bring us home and NZ 772, plus a little Jetstar NZ plane (no idea what), Auckland 19/07

Bne 24/06 NZ 773 The Hobbit that we took across to Auckland on our way to Buenos Aires with a TG 787 (not sure if 8 or 9)

Going by the rego number it's a - 8

And the mystery Jetstar propjet in the photo above is probably a Bombardier Q300 (aka a Dash 8)

And another edit, the Amazonas plane is a CRJ200 also from Bombardier

Seeing this very detailed Hobbit artwork has given me an idea - what about engaging a mural artist to paint the outside of the fuselage with what's inside. In other words a sort of an x-ray view.

IIRC the Hobbit planes are just decals

Watched this AN12 depart BNE early this morning. Smokey trail behind her. FR24 now tracking north with no filed destination.

Anyone know what this UAA beauty is doing in/around BNE ?
 
Its recent flights in/out of BNE seem to have no departure point or destination but all seem to have flight numbers that are ON50x - the ON suffix usually belongs to Air Narau, wonder if its doing some charter cargo flights to /from there?
