Nelson yesterday 10-06-2026

 Bill Mannix was at it again during his morning walk around Nelson Airport today - and snapped these aircraft of interest.
All have been mentioned previously on these pages.
This Piper PA-31-310 Navajo ZK-LWN c/n 31-8112056 is a 1981 model which reached our shores in mid 1995. It has been listed to Heli Sika Ltd of Taupo since October of 2024.
It arrived in from and returned to Taupo today.

The Cessna 182S Skylane ZK-RIK c/n 18280239 came in from Hamilton of the 8th
See Here for its history.

The Ted Smith 601B Aerostar ZK-JOS c/n 61-0361-116 was shipped to New Zealand in May of 2004 and has been listed to Matrinair Ltd of Feilding since July of 2018. It arrived down from Palmerston Norh earlier this morning.

The Kawasaki BK117 B-2 ZK-HJC3 /n 1061 seems to have been around my patch for yonks.
It joined our register with Garden City Helicopters Ltd on 23-04-1996 and has served well in the EMS role. Until recently it has been the Hokitika based rescue helicopter.
