Air New Zealand Paints Their Itty-Bittiest Plane All Black

January 10, 2012 at 1:16 PM | by | Comment (1)

YES—another all-black plane has taken to the skies. For the third time, Air New Zealand is honoring the country's rugby team—the All Blacks—with an aircraft painted in the team colors, which would be all black (plus a little white and gray to form the fern of the team logo).

The first AirNZ plane to get the treatment was a Airbus A320, then they upgraded to repainting a Boeing 777. This time, however, AirNZ has chosen the smallest of their fleet—a Beech 1900D, newly completed.

Keep a look out for the tiny black plane (and two more upcoming) buzzing its propellers on AirNZ's shorter domestic routes, such as between Blenheim and Christchurch.

I want to ride in that!

I totally want to ride in that. If I won the Life-Changing Travel Contest on The Ambler (share an unforgettable moment from your travels for a shot at winning $1500 flight voucher on any airline), I'd totally use my free flight to fly in this tiny black plane. Side note: What is our obsession with tiny things? Tiny horses, tiny dogs, mini muffins and mini burgers...
