Alas I do not have a photograph of ZK-EUF in its parachuting role.
An earlier blog on this aircraft can be found at

Our sympathy and thoughts go out to all.

ReplyDeleteSorry.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. Fox not Franz.
It has been a long hard day.
Thanks.
Blue Bus, trust all is ok with you and yours and the wheels are still in place.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, a very sad day on both Coast's of the South Island.
It would appear ZK-EUF travelled south as recently as 23 August this year following its conversion from an ag aircraft to a parachute machine and a photo on the NZ Herald website earlier had the aircraft in the same scheme as I last saw it in 2006 with the addition of the parachute door and what appeared to be it parked at Fox.
Being from the Coast I can only think of the sadness that will have struck the small community of Fox Glacier and of many in South Westland who have suffered loss.
These appear to be pics of it setup in Skydive configuration
