Another King Air for the New Zealand Register

Wayne Grant captured the arrival of New Zealand's newest Beech C90 King Air, N90NZ, at Auckland this afternoon. This adds to a growing number of this type in use in New Zealand.

 Despite there being so many Beech C90 Kings Air's in the country, only ZK-UPA has ever been used (to date) for airline service, that being used by United Pacific Airlines not only only charter work but also, at times, on the Auckland-Kaitaia run in the early 1980s.
