Pauanui airfield has seen an influx of visitors this week with the most interesting being the 1948 model Luscombe 8E Silvaire Deluxe N1529B up from Tauranga with RV8 ZK-MRM2.
Not previously blogged here before is Advanced Flight's EC130T2 ZK-IHZ which was imported new back in mid 2021..
And not often seen is the Ngatea based Schweizer 269C ZK-HID4 which was imported from Japan back in 2002 and initially registered ZK-IAI.
Acquired by a Te Kauwhata owner in early 2022 is the 1973 model Cessna 172M ZK-DSM which is now in a smart new paint scheme.
The Silvaire arrived in New Zealand over two years ago. Thanks to Covid, its assembly, for its American owners, has been delayed until late January 2023.

DeleteWhy does the luscombe 8 e have no NZ reg marks ?
ReplyDeleteBecause it has US resident owners
