Another visit to Wanaka Airport offered a lot of activity including the skydiving Cessna 208B Caravan ZK-ROK4 which as had its "Wanaka" titling restored. This was imported in 2016 from the US as ZK-RUL, becoming ROK4 in 2020.
Sharing a hangar with the recently imported Lockheed 12A Electra VH-HID (to become ZK-LHE) is the Stoddard Hamilton SH2 Glasair RG ZK-LHX which was completed by its Wanaka owner in 2015.
Calling in briefly was Fox Franz Heli Services Hughes 369D ZK-HDZ2 which was imported from PNG in 1990 and acquired by the company in 2016.
Also stopping in briefly was AS350B3 ZK-IDQ which has now lost its High Country Helicopters titling. This was imported new in 1999 as ZK-IPV2, becoming IDQ in 2014.
ROK looks like its a Honeywell 331 conversion? Supervan 900?
