Simon Brown of Timaru has provided these neat pics of Aero L-29 ZK-SSU (c/n 395100) arriving at its new home in Timaru on Sunday 31-07-2011. It flew from New Plymouth via Woodbourne and was met just out of Timaru by the Piper PA31-325 Navajo ZK-NOW2.
It is now housed in the same hangar as its comrade Aero L-29 ZK-VAU.
We will soon have a squadron in the south island. watch out north island!
ReplyDeleteThats ok.We have our Air force at Ardmore!!!
ReplyDeleteSSU and VAU have been sitting at Christchurch Airport for about two years now. I would imagine that they are both stuffed. Especially in light of the AD on the engine fuel system components. http://www.caa.govt.nz/assets/legacy/Airworthiness_Directives/Ex-military.pdf.
ReplyDeletePity, I used to like seeing them fly around the city.
