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

NZ: Ohakea Airshow 777-300 "Black Beauty"
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. "the Legend of LAX" wrote in message ... I believe the "official" name is "All Blacks".

Opinions vary on this, but the generally-accepted reason is that the name came first, then the kit colour, as stated in the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ori...ll_Blacks#Name, which says of the 1905 touring side: The team departed New Zealand as the New Zealand Football Team, or, simply The New Zealanders, though names such as Maorilanders and Colonials were also applied. Reference to the team by the name "All Blacks" first appeared during the Originals tour when, according to Billy Wallace, a London newspaper reported that the New Zealanders played as if they were "all backs". Wallace claimed that due to a typographical error, subsequent references were to "All Blacks". Wallace was the last of the Originals to pass away, so this explanation for the name's origins is widely believed. However, the Express and Echo in Devon, reporting after the Originals match there, referred to "The All Blacks, as they are styled by reason of their sable and unrelieved costume." The new name quickly became popular throughout Britain, though its acceptance into popular culture took a longer time back home in New Zealand. On 5 March when the team returned home, the Herald acclaimed the "New Zealand Footballers", however, the following day its report of the official function was headed "Return of the All Blacks".

Wow. I stand corrected. All I've ever heard it called here, even by Air
Traffic, is "All Blacks". I like the name Black Beauty. It is apt. And we see this plane several times a week at LAX. A very common sight, but I still can't get a decent shot of it.
