25 years ago - September 1988 - Past and Present Airliners at Ardmore

On the 23rd of September 1988 I was my way to Fiji but had a day in Auckland... The following aircraft worked or are working now for various airlines around New Zealand...

Piper Cherokee 140 ZK-DBT never saw airline service itself but it worked for Hokitika-based Westland Flying Services...  http://3rdlevelnz.blogspot.co.nz/2010/04/hokitikas-westland-flying-services.html It looked a lot nicer at Ardmore in 1988 after its repaint.

Cessna 172 ZK-EXD was used by Waheke Air Services on its Ardmore and Auckland service to Waiheke Island's Stonyridge airfield... http://3rdlevelnz.blogspot.co.nz/2011/08/wings-of-gulf-waiheke-air-services.html
