Rego swap ! ZK-OAC - ZK-WAL

Rans S-6ES Coyote II c/n 02991305 began life as ZK-WAL2, being registered to the B and C Knights Trust of Waiuku on 23-11-1999.

Ownership changed to L S and M J Nichol (later as the Seaview Trust) at Whakatane from 04-05-2000.

Thompson and Hood of Ashburton appear from 16-05-2008.

Below is a view of her in its original skin taken at Rangiora on 27-12-2008.

It was damaged on take off at Ashburton on 29-12-2008 (two days after the above pic) and eventually went to Taieri for a rebuild. Pic below at Taieri on 01-07-2011.

Ownership moved to the Otago Aero Club at Taieri on 10-12-2011. It is seen below in its new skin at Rangitata Island on 17-02-2012. Pic from Russell Brodie.

Recently ZK-WAL2 was re-registerd temporarily as ZK-JNA5 between 20-04-2012 and 03-05-2012 to allow a registration letter swap to take place between this S6 and the S-7 Courier originally registered as ZK-OAC1. The S-7 is now listed as ZK-WAL3, and our S-6 has now become ZK-OAC2.












In the gap above I leave a space for a pic of our S-6 as ZK-JNA5. (I can only live in hope). I wonder if in fact it was even marked up as such ?

Below however we have a photo of the new ZK-OAC2 as captured at Taieri by Ray Bremer on Saturday 05-05-2010.
