NZ Bizjet Population Increases

Despite the economic downturn, its great to see another bizjet grace our skies, albeit in the form of Cessna's Very Light Jet, the Citation 510 Mustang. New Zealand Jet Charters took delivery at Auckland 23Jul of their example, ZK-PGA/2 (the first ZK-PGA adorned a Piper Aztec operated by Chris Amon). ZK-PGA/2 arrived into Wellington as VH-SJP on 14Jul from Bankstown via Sydney and Norfolk Island and underwent CAA certification work with Vincent Aviation. It departed Wellington 23Jul for an approach and overshoot at Auckland then across to Ardmore for a few circuits before returning to land at Auckland where it was promptly hangered in the Business Jets hanger.
