Light visitors today

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday, wet/ drizzly and windy. Today is sunshine and light winds. The Aero Club was busy, which was good to see.

Anyway, a couple of visitors today were a Piper PA28-181, ZK-LJE, registered to Canterbury Aero Club. The other was a Diamond DA42, ZK-CTO, registered to CTC Aviation Training.

A quiet day

Just one aircraft photo today, a Piper PA28-181, ZK-LJE, registered to Canterbury Aero Club. Apart from that, I spent much of the afternoon helping to shift "stuff" out of the old Club building. Anyway, here's the photo.

More visitors then I'm back to work

Today is my last day of the Christmas holiday break; tomorrow I head back to work, and back to the [more or less] weekly updates for the blog.

Today's visitors included a couple of PA28's and an Australian registered Convair.

ZK-LJE is a Piper PA28-181 Archer registered to Canterbury Aero Club in Christchurch. ZK-FTR is a Piper PA28-161 Warrior registered to Air Hawkes Bay [I think this was on an IFR training/practice flight...?].

The Australian visitor is a Pionair Convair 340, registration VH-PDW. Interestingly, while the CASA website says Convair 340, Pionair's website says Convair 580. Not sure what or why there is this difference.

Enjoy the pictures... now I'm off to earn some dollars to pay for this flying gig! :-)

Wellington Visitors

It's been another hot day in Wellington, with the temperatures around 25 deg celsius [yes, that is quite warm for Wellington!], clear skies and a gentle breeze. I snapped photos of the following visitors today.

The first is a Cessna F152, ZK-NPI, from New Plymouth Aero Club. I'm not sure how long it is staying, but it's been here at least one night. The second is another new Piper PA28-181 from Canterbury Aero Club. ZK-LJE is one of the new "glass cockpit" PA28's that Canterbury seems to be importing these days. The last is a Massey Aviation PA28-151, ZK-EBH, after a touch and go.
