 A 1987 import was this Maule M-5-210C Strata Rocket ZK-FNG (c/n 6033C). It has been with Jon Rutherford of North Canterbury since February of 2006.

 The Cessna 180 ZK-KMK (c/n 32470) is of 1956 vintage and served in Norway, Sweden and the UK before reaching NZ in 2008. Current owner is Matahui Airlines Ltd - another way of saying Keith Skilling.

 The Remote Adventures Cessna 185A ZK-MIT (c/n 185-0504) was over from Takaka.
