Beech 300LW

Today's interesting visitor was the previously-featured Beech 300LW, VH-WCN, which is operated by AVCAIR. In effect thought it's a privately operated aircraft, which arrived from Auckland and was on route to Dunedin.

Despite the Australian registration and contact address, I understand that this aircraft is now based at Ardmore airport [NZAR] in Papakura, Auckland.

I must be back in Wellington...

... as I'm back to seeing Air NZ and other Wellington visitors.

First up are a couple of regulars.

ZK-OXE has been around for a while now. This is another of Air NZ's Airbus A320-232 aircraft which is used on domestic sectors.

Mount Cook Airline's ATR72's look really nice in the black and white fern livery. We'll see more of these as Air NZ expands it's fleet of later model ATR72's, to replace the older ones and to slightly increase the overall fleet size.

Last up is an Australian-registered aircraft, a Beech B300LW, VH-WCN. This is registered to a company called AVcair of a Hamilton [Queenland, Australia] address. AVcair appears to be a charter operated based in Brisbane, Australia.
