Over the last couple of weeks a rally has been flown around NZ of some visiting Comanche aircraft from Australia. Three of them are known to be PA24 VH-CDB and VH-OBI along with PA30 VH-ESL. VH-CDB and VH-ESL are known to have flown Norfolk to Lord Howe today, 24Feb, and VH-CDB and VH-OBI were at Mandeville 20Feb. Some questions if anyone can help:
1 / When and where did they enter NZ?
2/ While here, where did they visit?
3/ Was there more aircraft than those mentioned above?
4/ What ZK aircraft where involved?
Any info appreciated and can be emailed to mikeskj@xtra.co.nz
Thanks!
