ZK-TZZ is interesting because unlike many P68C's, this one has a crew door on the right-hand side, making it substantially easier for the flight crew to enter and exit the aircraft. This would be a particular bonus when being operated on ATOs [Air Transport Operations], as without the crew door, the flight crew would either have to enter before the passengers, or push their way past them.
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
— Helen Keller, at age 74, on flight around the world, news reports of 5 February 1955

Another Partenavia
Here's another picture of a Partenavia P68C visiting Wellington, ZK-TZZ. Like ZK-MIR from a few weeks ago, this one is also from the Canterbury Aero Club, which is based at Christchurch International Airport.
