ATR72 under tow at Wellington

I was at the Aero Club on the weekend [no surprise there!],when I saw a Mount Cook Airline/ Air NZ operated ATR-GIE ATR72-600, ZK-MVF, being towed across to the western apron. The assumption is unplanned maintenance [as Air NZ doesn't have a maintenance base here].

Anyway, as you can see, they've laid on all the flash stuff with front and rear escort and a tug. Someone thought it was a bit rude of me to call it a golf cart... fair enough I suppose :-)

Anyway, here are the pictures.

    Would have been an ideal job for Vincent's Kairangi. I wonder what happened to it?

    Good point. Not sure what happened to it, but I imagine it was sold off, or still sits in a hanger somewhere...
