2004 model Beech 200 King Air N635SF arrived at Auckland direct from Sydney with a flight time of 4hr 45min. After clearing formalities the King Air made the short hop to Ardmore where it was inducted for pre delivery maintenance with Hawker Pacific. This aircraft is the first of five "new" glass cockpit examples to be leased by Hawker Pacific to the RNZAF replacing the current fleet leased from Aeromotive of Hamilton.
This example arrived at Broome from Jakarta/Halim on 27 May and 28 May saw it head for Alice Springs and Sydney but favourable winds saw the aircraft fly direct to Sydney at the hands of respected ferry company, Range Flyers.
The aircraft was registered to Hawker Pacific on 14 June as ZK-KHP (King Air Hawker Pacific).
