Air Tractor ZK-SKF going .........

The Air Tractor AT-504 ZK-SKF2 c/n 504-4015 was built in the USA as N8520L in Olney, Texas.

It was registered in NZ  as ZK-SKF2 on 23-07-2012 to Skyfarmers Aviation Ltd of Methven.   

On arrival at Timaru Airport it was assembled and certified by Avtek Ltd and first flew as such on 03/08/2012.

Above and below from Allan Bowman near Rangiora 04-11-2012.

Below I caught it at Ashburton on 07-02-2015.
Its New Zealand registration was cancelled on 05-05-2022 as destroyed.

Above as seen at Timaru today 08-05-2022 by Simon Brown marked as VH-NUV2.

    Clearly a quick rebuild. I have an agwagon that could do with such a quick rebuild :-)

    Real shame to see this go overseas. Was the sole dual control Air Tractor in NZ for ratings and checks
