Named planes
 
When did NZ stop naming their aircraft? I remember Piwakawaka and Karearea as a kid. Seems like it's mainly a Euro thing these days. VS had Tubular Belle at one point, which does sound a bit Exorcisty.

I think it was around the time of the “Pacific Wave” paint scheme.

There was a brief period in the mid 2000s, that the 744’s for names after major cities in New Zealand. They went as far has potting decals on them.
