Auckland-Wellington In 40 Minutes

Pictures Of Interest To All

When NAC's Viscounts cut the Auckland to Wellington time to 85 minutes, that was really something. Now we have the "Executive Jet" businessman's "flying office", which made the trip in 40 minutes recently while on a demonstration visit to this country.

The Twin-Jet Dassault Falcon aircraft, seating nine people, cruises at 575 miles per hour --faster than the giant DC8 of Air New Zealand.

Lord Cobham was one of the passengers on the flight. From 33,000 feet, he commented "Lake Taupo looked like a postage stamp".
