At the end of August, this Royal New Zealand Air Force 757 paid a brief visit to Calgary, stopping for fuel and crew rest en route from New Zealand to the UK.

According to their social media, it was apparently flying to the UK with New Zealand Army personnel to train members of the Ukrainian infantry.

As you'd expect, that’s quite the long journey, and the plane stopped in Apia (the capital of Samoa), then in Honolulu, Calgary, and Halifax before making it to RAF Brize Norton.

It’s not every day we see a visitor from the South Pacific, let alone a military 757 in general, so please enjoy!
