Crossing the Tasman Sea on its delivery flight last evening was Cessna C510 Citation Mustang VH-YDZ. The very light jet has most recently been operated by Pacific Real Estate of Wollongong, NSW but has recently been purchased by NZ interests and embarked from Bankstown for Sydney then direct to Auckland 23 February. It is understood this Mustang will be based at Ardmore.
VH-YDZ was delivered to Australia on 04 November 2009 arriving at Bankstown from Darwin via Longreach. The Mustang visited NZ during the Rugby World Cup of 2011 arriving at Auckland direct from Sydney 08 October that year and departing for the Gold Coast via Norfolk Island two days later. It returned to Auckland on the 15th, again flying direct from Sydney then exited the country two days later for the Gold Coast via Norfolk Island.
