Agplanes and others at Gore


A visit to Gore airfield on a very blue sky day offered lots of interest including MacKenzie Aviation's Fu24-950M ZK-BOG which is looking very smart for being over 60 years old..


Imported from Australia in August 2016 was the 750hp Thrush S2R-T34 ZK-DUZ operated by Southern Aviation, Te Anau


With Central Ag Air, Oturehua since 2014 is GA200C ZK-RMU


Offering taildragger flight training from the Kingston airfield near Queenstown is Ace Aviation's PA22-160 ZK-TDA


And local Gore based Cessna 172G ZK-COM in smart new colours

    You can tell that Ayres is 510hp just by looking at it;-)
    The Fletcher took my eye tho'.

      no, the 510 refers to the hopper size
      510 gallons. The P refers to the engine, Pratt and Whitney PT6-34 750hp.
      Thanks Helikiwi
