Alister Jenks caught the departure from Wellington today of the Cessna 208B Supervan 900
ZK-JMP4 c/n 208B1169.
It was built as N479DV with a P&W PT6A-114 engine by Cessna Aircraft Company at Wichita, Kansas and certified on 17-11-2005.
In January of 2006 it was taken up by DBD Properties LLC of Grand Rapids, Michigan until going to Eastlake Aviation of Oxford, Connecticut from 05-05-2007. It was then re-registered as N95EL on 05-11-2007 - still with Eastlake. Somewhere about here it was converted to Supervan 900 with a Garrett TPE331 turboprop engine.
It then went into the hands of Southern Wings Aircraft Sales of Oklahoma City on 08-10-2014 for its move to New Zealand.
It ferried Hollister to Hilo to Pago, then into Auckland and Taupo on 26-11-2014.
Its US registration was cancelled on 01-12-2014 for it to become ZK-JMP4 with Tandem Skydiving (2002) Ltd at Taupo from 03-12-2014.
