The largest graphic every placed on an aircraft...

This aircraft will be doing a 1000' flyover at the premeir for the Hobbit film this Wednesday. The largest graphic ever placed on an aircraft. Better shots of it will come out next week I am sure.

 

Air New Zealand Boeing 777 in Hobbit Livery. Looks amazing:

I'm not much into the hobbit but that is quite impressive.

Looks awesome on a T7 Mat. Wonder how much that cost to do. The All Blacks livery was about 800,000 smackers, the hobbit would be getting close to that.

Not sure the price, but this one is a decal and not paint like the All Blacks aircraft. Article said it took 6 days and nearly 400 man hours, so I am guessing the majority of the costs was in the labour costs. They had to ensure no bubbles were anywhere in the decal and it is 830 square meters.

I'm actually wondering when NZ will be officially renamed Middle Earth.. :LMAO:

Shire Airport, this is Hobbit1 on the ring one STAR, heading for runway 25 left and right (small runways they have). We have the King on board.

Shire Airport, do you read?

Dark voice. 'One does not simply land..' :P
