Hi Steve,

Thought you might be interested in this shot I took last night at TRG. All three overnighting Bombardier Q300s were painted up in the new Air New Zealand Livery.  In order NES, NEQ and NEP. From memory NEP, NEQ,  NER,  NES,  NET have been painted up so far. Sorry for the bad quality pic, dark and drizzly.

  1. How many ATR's are painted up? I know all 600's are and MCB/MCF, but any others?

    3. Just like Hawkes Bay Airport. We used to get 3 Dash 8s stay overnight. But we have no become a ATR Base as of February 8th and will have 2 ATRs and 1 Dash 8 stay overnight. I think this is a good move for our region. And I look forward to seeing them more as I'm a plane spotter for HB
