Today's smaller aircraft

In the first of two posts from today, here are some of the lighter aircraft I saw. The first is a Beech F33A Bonanza, ZK-EDS. This aircraft is registered to a Palmerston North address and was parked up at the Aero Club for much of the day.

The second is a Cessna 208, ZK-TZR, registered to Sounds Air.

Last is a British Aerospace Jetstream 31, ZK-JSH and registered to Vincent Aviation. The aircraft appears to have just undergone some engine test runs and so perhaps this was a test flight?

More lighties at Wellington

Here are some light aircraft that I spotted at Wellington International Airport today. The first is a Cessna C172R, ZK-JKA. I have previously flown this aircraft when I was living in Auckland at Auckland Aero Club [at Ardmore Aerodrome]. I last flew this aircraft on 23 November 2002. ZK-JKA is currently registered to Air Hawkes Bay.

The next aircraft is ZK-CHM, a Cessna C150D, registered to Sounds Air. It has been parked here for a few days - not sure why - maybe maintenance or something. Following that we have a Cessna C210, ZK-COY, registered to Air West Coast.

Lastly, something a little less usual, is a Beechcraft F33A, ZK-EDS, registered to a Palmerston North address. ZK-EDS appears to be the only one of type [I think that there may be a couple of similar aircraft around] on the New Zealand register at the moment.
