Making a very brief visit to Pauanui airfield this afternoon was the Cessna Bird Dog ZK-LAO, an O-1A model c/n 21692 which was registered to the LAO Syndicate of Auckland in May 2024.
It was originally built in July 1951 under a US Army contract as serial 51-4807 and supplied to the Thai Army under the Military Assistance Program as serial 4807. After service it lay derelict in Thailand for some years until 2013 when it was shipped to NZ for restoration.
It has been confirmed as ZK-LAO by a LAME at Ardmore
ReplyDeleteWhat are the CAA rules regarding not having a visible rego?
ReplyDeleteYou could read them. I can only assume it's a identifiable paint scheme so that's it's rego.
DeleteI can't see even see a rego! Time to go to Specsavers...
