Opposite end of the scales

       At Christchurch International Airport today the privately listed Gulfstream G650ER 
   VP-BSS c/n 6448 was caught on approach by Tony McFarlin.

This first appeared with Gulfstream Aerospace as N648GA about October of 2019 and became N666HZ about a year later. By late 2021 it was listed with TVPX until being cancelled on 16-10-2023 for its transfer to the Civil register of Bermuda.

And parked next to the Globemaster III this afternoon.

Now something different - maybe not as exotic - was noted at Rangiora this morning.

The ZME Syndicates Zenair CH701 STOL ZK-ZME c/n 7-5852 arriving.

Its early history can be seen HERE.

A case of 'plop and stop'      Try that in your G650ER.

Or try Christchurch to Singapore direct with the CH701 STOL.
