 Another member of the Glenorchy Air fleet (below) is the Piper PA-32S Cherokee Six ZK-DOJ (c/n 32S-40638). This one operated on floats out of Pago Pago in the early 1970's before arriving in NZ for repairs. It the joined the Kaitaia Aero Club. It migrated down to Queenstown in late May of 1996.
The letter "S" in the model and c/n indicate it has the floatplane mods.

    I guess the Airvan regos relate to JRR Tolkien and Lord of the Rings...
    Clever!

    Some inside info here. JRR is a LOTR ref. and also the initials of the owners (coincidence..?). LOR is also a LOTR ref. ZK-MIF is no longer with the company and has been sold, hence why it is not parked with the others
