Sun bathing in Westland

It is great to be in home territory enjoy the lovely West Coast weather while filling in at Greymouth with an occasional visit to an airport...

After a funeral at Hokitika I caught Eagle Air's Beech 1900D ZK-EAG arriving into Hokitika with the later afternoon flight on 4 April 2013. 

It's been around a long time but this is only the second time I have photographed Piper Cherokee 140 ZK-CIP at Greymouth on 4 April 2013.

Still sporting its previous US registration, RANS S-6S Coyote ZK-OFF at Greymouth on 7 April 2013

  1. I fly 6 times per month. 4 of those are with Eagle. by my reckoning, 70% of my Eagle flights have been on ZK-EAH. It is ridiculous!! I have never hit EAG or EAK, the black beautys. EAH is my aircraft :-)

  4. I first flew in ZK CIP at Whanganui Aero Club about 1966/67. In about 1970 we bought her and established Ardmore Flying School. I did first solo in her about 1972. Soft spot for this old girl.
