Three from Napier.

I had a quick peek at Napier yesterday (18-02-2016).
 From the hangar doorway we see the Cessna 180J ZK-DXW (c/n 53685) which has been with Aerospread Ltd since February  of 2012.
 And two over the fence shots showing the Pacific Aerospace CT/4E ZK-PTH (c/n 207) as listed with Alleasing New Zealand Ltd of Napier. 
This Plastic Parrot started life as ZK-PTH back on 17-11-1998  before going on lease to the RNZAF as NZ1992. 
After withdrawal from the Air Force it rejoined our civil register as ZK-PTH again on 03-03-2015.
And parked up on the grass is the Flight Care registered Cessna 421C ZK-WLG (c/n 421C0492). First listed in NZ in May 1983 it has been with Flight Care since 18-06-2008.

  2. In the photo of DXW you can also see the fuselage and wind parts of the Cresco involved in the crash at Otane. Is it to be rebuilt?

  4. Evening Peter.
    I am there now - should be until about 1400 hrs Saturday. The Blue Bus (aka La Vida) will be parked just inside the aerodrome gate. I will be wearing Croks on my feet and an Australian Stetson type hat & carrying two cameras.
    Cheers

  5. ZK-WLG is to soon be parted out to be a source of spares for the Golden Eagle based out of New Plymouth.
