More from North Shore today

Sir Minty has offered these three pics from his visit to North Shore today (24-12-2011).

Above is the Piper PA28-140 Cherokee Cruiser ZK-DOQ (c/n 28-7425002). This is the second production airframe from the 1974 Piper fiscal year which became N55174 and ferried into Auckland on 29-05-1974. It spent its first seven years with the Middle Districts Aero Club before going into private ownership. It has been listed to the North Shore Aero Club (Inc) since 10-08-2007.

ZK-LRD (c/n 150M-76001) is a product of 1975. It came onto the NZ register on 16-07-1986 as ZK-JMP1 which came from the initials of its new owner J M Pedersen of Auckland. It was sold to J L & R M Dredge of Glen Eden on 05-02-1991 and the registration was changed to ZK-LRD on thew 18th.

A  very recent addition to our register is the Cessna 182T Skylane ZK-PJC (c/n 182-81476). Certified in the US on 19-11-2004 it served with Bellio Aviation LLC at Denver, Colorado until sold to NZ.
It was registered here on 20-09-2011 to Pacific Cruises 2009 Ltd in Auckland. "PJC" being the initials of the owners.
