Air Chathams' Fairchild Metro 23 ZK-POE is in the final boarding process before departing Auckland in an Australia-bound container. A big thanks to Alex Parker who caught it being loaded at Auckland on 17 October 2024. Alex writes...
I was dropping someone off at Auckland Airport today and I noticed something interesting - POE with her wings and empennage snipped being prepped for a shipping container! Not shown in the photo was the empennage itself, lying just behind the shipping container. I apologise that the photo couldn’t be clearer, I wasn’t expecting to see anything that required a camera!
ZK-POE was cancelled from the New Zealand civil aircraft register as "withdrawn" on the 6th of June 2024 and was placed on the Australian civil aircraft register as VH-AC5 on the 19th of July registered to EastWest Aviation Pty Ltd and being operated by Sharp Aviation Pty Ltd.
