Tauranga Traffic

On the 24th of August I had some 90 minutes of plane spotting at Tauranga before my flight to Auckland

My ride to Auckland on 24 August 2023, Air New Zealand's ATR-72-600 ZK-MVA arriving from Auckland

Sunair's Piper PA23 Aztec arriving from Gisborne 

Island Air's Cessna 172 ZK-WGE arriving from Motiti Island

 

Cessna 180 ZK-DKP was in the circuit

My first sighting of Kahu NZ' Sikorsky EH-60 Black Hawk ZK-HKU

Also in the Kahu NZ stable, Hughes 369E '500E' ZK-HTU

The Tauranga Aero Club's Cessna 152 ZK-TAE arriving back from a training mission

The Ardmore Flying School's Cessna 172 ZK-UAT did a touch and go

Gone but not forgotten... It was always a pleasure to meet up with Pete. TRG is not quite the same
