A belated Friday report from Rangiora

 I managed a quick stop over at Rangiora early on Friday afternoon.

Nothing new for me but three of nearby locals that I have not seen for some time.The Cessna A185F Skywagon ZK-ROL c/n 18502103 has been mentioned in these pages before - see HERE

The Air Tractor ZK-SXO c/n 602-1280 is back on the line at Rangiora.

It had an engine problem on Mt White Station in early 2023 and for reasons various it had to winter over there. After an on site engine replacement, it was flow out to Rangiora on 23-08-2023 and then to Feilding on 28-08-2023.

The Piper P-18C Cub ZK-LEZ c/n 18-1628 shows its ex military heritage with its extended cockpit 'glass'.

We have covered this previously Here.
