Atlas Air 767 N664GT at Wellington.

Allister Jenks reports :-
An interesting visitor arrived in Wellington on the night of November 7th.
When I checked the next morning, it was still on gate 26 but I watched it hooked up to a tug and pushed, backwards, all the way to the government apron. For a time it completely blocked taxiway Bravo at the A5 intersection, causing a couple of ANZ turboprops to turn around on the runway and head back to A6. There also appeared to be an issue at one point as RFS trucks raced across the runway and were firing water under the aircraft in the vicinity of the main gear.

Boeing 767-31B (ER) c/n 26259 first flew on 02-03-1994 and was delivered to China Southern Airlines as B-2565 until joining the Irish register as EI-CRD for Eurofly in November of 1998. 
It then went on line with Alitalia from September 2001.
It then became D-ABUL with Condor until becoming N664GT in March 2021 with Atlas Air.
