Stopped in at Wellington while flying from back to Christchurch - gets VERY bumpy around the Sinclair Head with a NW wind in a Piper Tomahawk - definitely tests you landing one of them on 34 when the wind is 310 @ 25 kts gusting 40 :)
spikie 4... The UA 747 was on the ground for 80 mins, no one got off and I witnessed the takeoff, there was no stripping out weight, it was airborne at about the 4500 ft mark and sailed off in to the sun. There was actually an Air NZ 747-200 that visited Welly before the UA to validate Wgtn as a alternate ahead of the 747-400, and a Qantas 747-200 did a low pass over the runway en-route to ChCh in 1972, so a total of three 747 visits to Welly above SP size.

Honestly, Wellington Airport must be considered as a very dangerous airport in some cases for many reasons...
