Pacific Aerospace 750XL ZK-JIF c/n 153, registered to PAC on 04-02-09, pictured here under construction at Hamilton on 23-02-09 was cancelled from the NZ register on 27-03-09 to become VH-YIF with Australian Air Ferry.

A second 750XL was cancelled during March. ZK-JDQ2 c/n 139 first listed to PAC on 12-02-08 and transferred to GoSky AG on 18-04-2008. It trundled off across the ditch from Hamilton to Auckland to Lord Howe Island on 22-04-2008. To the Gold Coast on the 23rd and to Darwin on the 24th. Its ZK registration was cancelled on 18-03-09. From this I assume that the European certification has come to pass. Anybody know what its new registration is ?
