One of two Boeing 757-200s of the Royal New Zealand Air Force's No. 40 Squadron — multirole jets that mix VIP transport with trooping and aeromedical evacuation. Delivered new to Transavia in 1993 and flown by the RNZAF since 2003, the pair became notorious for breakdowns that stranded prime ministers mid-trip; New Zealand has selected the Airbus A321XLR to replace them.
