Air New Zealand was the official sponsor of the New Zealand Rugby team who
are called the "All Blacks" because of the colour of their uniform, and in
recognition of their win in the Rugby World Cup, they painted several
aircraft in this colour.

This particular aircraft has been dubbed the unofficial title of "Black
Beauty", which many of us old farts will remember was the name given to a
horse in a novel of the same name by Anna Sewell in 1877 - not that I was
around then, but sometimes I feel like it.... ;-)

I don't know who gave it that name - the company or the press, but it's very
apt.

Spotters at LAX should see this aircraft on occasion.

Thanks.

I believe the "official" name is "All Blacks". Nice shot.

I welcome change. But I prefer bills.
