Recent Variations on Pacific Aerospace XL 750s

Pacific Aerospace continue to produce XL 750 aircraft at their Hamilton Airport facilities with several recently going to New Zealand operators for parachute dropping and one for topdressing work.

ZK-KEO (c/n 222) was registered to Pacific Aerospace Ltd on 22/1/20 as a XL 750.  However as can be seen in the photo it is a Falco 3000XL which incorporates the Farmers Air modifications to make the aircraft lighter.  It carries Andy Stevenson Aviation Ltd titles on the cowling.  Thanks for the use of the photo Steve. 

ZK-KEO was in a recent line up of Pacific Aerospace aircraft with the Super PAC XL 750 ZK-JZL (c/n 156) which has the more powerful Pratt and Whitney PT6A-140 engine installed that is around 15% more powerful that the standard PT6A-34 engine.  It is also registered to Pacific Aerospace Ltd.
