A stand out in the aircraft line up at the Sport Aviation Associations annual Ashburton fly in was the Thruster Aircraft Thruster T500 ZK-RIR c/n 093544..JPG)
ZK-RIR first showed itself for the Wall and Cook Syndicate out of Hokitika, being registered to them on 07-08-1996. On 18-05-1997 it was listed to FamMed Health Care Ltd of Hokitika.
Exactly a year later it was over the hill with the Canterbury Recreational Aircraft Club at Rangiora.
Sometime in 2001 it had an engine failure on take off but was repaired and by 28-08-2002 it was Sam Orchard of Seddon, replacing his on sold Bantam ZK-FPQ.
A move to the deep south to Craig and Eric Moncur of Invercargill took effect from 20-01-2008 followed by a change to just Craig Moncur on 21-08-2008.
In July last year Fiona McLoy of Geraldine acquired it to replace her Thruster Gemini ZK-FME.
