This blog started off by focussing on NZ's smaller 3rd level airlines, past and present. It has evolved to trying to present some record of NZ's domestic airline operations and some of the larger charter operators, interesting NZ international airliner movements and photos I have taken around the country.

Bring Our Birds Home have announced on their Facebook page they have just acquired Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante, former ZK-ERU which is heading to the National Transport & Toy Museum at Wanaka for public display.
This is great news.
The challenge is, in preserving our airliners, that we try and catch and save them before they head overseas.
Excellent excellent excellent news
ReplyDeleteHow many are preserved at this point? I recall one in a Manukau backyard and at least one other. Do any further aircraft remain in the country?
ReplyDeleteIf I recall correctly. Its been a few years since I have been that way but wasn't there one in a paddock near Reperoa
ReplyDeleteNo that was Fairchild Metroliner ZK-OAA and it is no longer there
