Fridays pie run

 I started my Friday run at Christchurch International and noted the regular Bombardier BD-700 N77NZ parked up. Previously mentioned Here

Also the Gulfstream GVII-G600 N1955M c/n 73087 at GCH Aviation.

Of more interest to me was the Bell 412EP N473AC c/n 36201 partially hidden in the USARP secure yard. This is listed on the US register with Rainier Heli International Inc of Kirkland, Washington, USA.

As can be seen it carries National Science Foundation titles and insignia and has recently returned from operations in Antarctica.

Out at Rangiora I noted the Schweizer 269C-1 ZK-HMC2 of Waimea Plains Ltd. 

A rather imposing machine is this Cessna U206F Stationair ZK-DXC c/n U20602986.

This has been in NZ since factory new in 1976.
