More US visitors at Christchurch

 This Cessna T240 Corvalis N362CS c/n T24002062 is actually not a stranger to us in NZ. 

I first met it in March of 2017 when it arrived as a demonstrator. 

It went on demo tours to Australia and South East Asia.

It arrived in Christchurch this morning (23-12-2022) from Wanaka.

Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express N77NZ c/n 9144 has been parked up at Christchurch since earlier this month in a difficult photographic position. 

Alas my camera's 'fence removing Ap' is not working at the moment. 

This was initially listed to the manufacturer as C-FAGV and was quickly transferred to Bombardier USA as N6VB with an airworthiness certificate dated 14-04-2005 and by 19-04-2005 was listed to Paramount Pictures Corporation of Los Angeles, California.

It was then certified as N77NZ on 23-04-2021 to TVPX Aircraft Solutions Incorporated Trustee out of North Salt Lake City, Utah. 

The Gulfstream GVI (G650) N889YF c/n 6127 in an equally difficult spot. 

This started as N627GA with Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation at Savannah, Georgie in January 2015 and was delivered to Yungfen Investment Management (HK) Ltd on 05-08-2015 as N650HH only to disappear into the books of the Bank of Utah at Salt Lake City.

It was re-registered as N899YF, still under cover with the Bank of Utah, on 07-05-2016.
