20 minutes at Tauranga

On Sunday 1 November I had 20 minutes at Tauranga airport to do some plane spotting...

Cessna 150 ZK-CTF
CTC Aviation's Cessna 172 was in the grass circuit
The beautiful lines of Cessna 177 Cardinal ZK-CXM
Against the sun... Cessna 150 ZK-EFC
A new one for me was Cessna 180 ZK-KMK
Another new one, New Zealand Aviation's Cessna 172 ZK-KOL... Can anyone tell me what engine this has got??? sounded like a sport aviation aircraft rather than a 172... three bladed prop too
Another new one Rans S-6ES Coyote ZK-TWL
The Motiti Express... Cessna 206 ZK-WWH
AutoGyro Calidus ZK-DCF was also a new one for me... I always think of ZK-DCF as an Aero Commander
AutoGyro Europe Calidus Fern ZK-MZM
Bombardier Q300 ZK-NEJ was just going as I arrived
and my ride to Wellington Bombarider Q300 ZK-NFI

  1. KOL has had a turbo diesel (with FADEC) conversion. The engine is similar to that found in a DA42 but with 155hp.
