Royal Australian Air Force Boeing 737 BBJ A36-002 spent several hours at Christchurch earlier this week when it carried Australian Senator and Defence Minister Marise Payne to a meeting with NZ Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee.
A36-002, as ASY1101, arrived at Christchurch from Richmond 14 December and was met by two RNZAF NH90 MRH NZ3302 and NZ3305 with the helicopters employed to transport the party to Wigram and later on a scenic flight over the Christchurch CBD. The BBJ then departed Christchurch on its return to Richmond.
