Fixed Wings at Queenstown

A recent trip to Central Otago afforded a brief visitation to Queenstown Airport and given the patchy weather we experienced for much of our time in the region it was a pleasure to catch these fixed wings on a stunning evening. 


Air Milford's Cessna A185F ZK-ENW

Originally imported for operations from Tauranga but now resident at Queenstown is the Aero L-29 ZK-JET with Double X Aviation. 
Glenorchy Air Services and Tourist Company Airvan ZK-JRR (JRR Tolkien, author of Lord of the Rings). 
Air Milford 2000 Cessna 208 ZK-SKA. It has been on the register since January 2014. 

Wakatipu Aero Club's Airvan ZK-SLQ. It has been with the local club since December 2014 after returning from Australia. It was once a Kiwi resident wearing ZK-KLC from 2004 through 2008 then re-registered ZK-TZT before export to Australia in 2011. 

Another Airvan operated by the Wakatipu Aero Club is ZK-SLW.  It was delivered to Queenstown 17 November 2015 as VH-AEA after a direct, overnight trip from Latrobe Valley via a customs clearing exercise at Melbourne/Essendon. It was placed on the NZ register early December.
