Murphy heads offshore

Ardmore-based Murphy Rebel ZK-DKZ was noted departed from Kerikeri mid morning 24 June 2019 destined for Norfolk Island. It then continued to Lord Howe Island and the Gold Coast 25 June. 

The kitset aircraft of Canadian origin has been in NZ since winter 2008 and recently underwent an ownership change having been listed for sale so this would seem to be a delivery flight. 

Updating other Kiwi light aircraft presently overseas, Pazmany PL-2 ZK-TLP has made it to Darwin arriving there on 20 June 2019 from Jabiru. Piper PA24 ZK-BAZ has spent a week at Lock Haven/PA. The NZ Airways Corporation registered Piper PA42 Cheyenne ZK-FIS embarked from Kerikeri for Norfolk Island and Nadi on 18 June 2019 and after conducting navigation calibration duties at Nadi it flew onto Tonga and Rarotonga and is now operating in Western Samoa.
