Omaka report # 2

Continuing Andy H's photographic Omaka report we have the Titan Tornado 11 ZK-JHJ (c/n D95582COHKO192). This came on our register with the Van Bennekom Verdonk Syndicate of Rotorua on 20-02-1997. Its registration was revoked on 03-05-2001 and it was sold during December that year. It was re-listed to Andrew Carter of Murupara on 02-08-2007 with different c/n of D95582COHK6192 and a Rotax 618 engine in lieu of the original Rotax 582. (I would have thought the c/n would become D95618etc !). It caries a "618" decal on the fuselage. It was listed for sale on Trade Me in June of 2009 with ownership changing on 22-12-2009 to Tomino Cacciamani of Havelock.

Above is the Sigma-4 ZK-JRN (c/n 10) of Mike Gray of Blenheim now carrying "Crip Air" signage. I like your sense of humour there Michael.
