T-Tail Trio

Registered to Tasman Aviation on 04 August, King Air 200GT ZK-VMF broke cover at Ardmore on the morning of 06 August for engine runs and what appeared to be a compass swing.
Since its delivery last month as N57BY (see ins and outs) the King Air has received attention with Hawker Pacific and has lost its GT off the tail and winglets, the beige / creme underside and the red stripe that had run the length of the fuselage and flashed on the tail.
It was all go at Hawkers with the RAAF King Air 350 arriving (see earlier post), a RNZAF King Air 200 on location and Skyline's King Air 200 ZK-PLK presumably still tucked in the back of their hangar.

To add to the busy scene, Tara Iti Holdings Pilatus PC12 ZK-TIL arrived from Fielding while out flying at the same time was Pilatus PC12 ZK-TFL with a trip from Springhill to Fielding, Napier and back to Springhill!
And to round out the T-tail trio, I caught up with Air Nelson's Bombardier Q300 ZK-NEQ across at Auckland in Air New Zealand's new livery.
