... and sunny today

After yesterday's wind and rain, today was sunny, albeit a little breezy in places. There was a lot of Club flying happening, as well as a visiting Partenavia P68C, ZK-TZZ. This aircraft is operated by Canterbury Aero Club and was visiting for a few hours.

Other Wellington aircraft

Here are some photos of other aircraft at Wellington today.

ZK-TZZ is a Partenavia P68C from Canterbury Aero Club and is a fairly regular visitor to Wellington. ZK-FLC is a Cessna C152, based at Paraparaumu.

The most interesting aircraft was ZK-MUS. ZK-MUS is a Cessna C510 Mustang registered to Acernus Aero Ltd, in Wellington. This is the same Mustang as the one I previously photographed when it was on the US register. It's a very recent addition to the NZ registered, with the paperwork only being effective from 29 May 2008. Quite an appropriate registration also :-)

Enjoy the photos!

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.

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.
