Keeping Track

Keeping check during the recent delivery flight of the first of Air New Zealand's latest purchase of three DC-10s was Mr Darryl Jeune, son of Mr Frank Jeune, Iranui Road. Darryl is the technical research engineer of Air New Zealand. The $25,000,000 wide-bodied jetliner was flown from Long Beach, California, to Auckland and is actually now the fourth DC-10 in Air New Zealand's fleet.
