Meet the TEAMs at Rangiora.

 A couple of seldom seem microlights at Rangiora were exposed to the daylight recently.

Above (and literally above) is the Tennessee Engineering And Manufacturing Inc (T.E.A.M) Z-MAX ZK-JGM c/n 666/MAANZ/556.

This first raised its head in February of 1996 with J A Gray of Christchurch, then to Richard ONeill-Dean of Dunedin.in early 2001 - it was next listed with Waarren Bezzant and L Anderton of Timaru in early 2001 followed by Richard Jones of Christchurch from mid 2002. Other Christchurch owners included Paul Woodward in mid 2004, Rod Webb from October 2005, Russell Byfield from August 2007 and Chris O'Brien in February of 2011. Up to this time I had never seen its registration on its fuselage side. However, Wayne Lindebaum and Brian Fitzgerald took it over from 05-02-2019 and now its sports its 'JGM' fuselage marks and carries 'JGM' under its Starboard wing.

Above we see a very very close relation - the Mini Max USA 1550V V-Max ZK-VMB c/n BF04.

This is a recent addition to the register for Brian Fitzgerald of Christchurch from 03-10-2025.

It registration letters of VMB appear in black on the darkish blue fuselage side and difficult to read.

Brian also owns the Facet Sapphire ZK-SAP which is parked in the left background.
