Pie run Thursday 2nd & Friday 03-07-2015

Passing through Rangiora from Stratford today (03-07-2015) was the Graeme Prankerd Cessna 180B ZK-EEJ (c/n 50557)
It got a mention earlier at :-http://nzcivair.blogspot.co.nz/2011/01/and-still-they-come-masterton.html

*********************

Yesterday I spied this roadrunner at gate 16 Christchurch International Airport.
(Trying to get in - not out).
It is none other than the Piper PA-18-150 c/n 18-7709103.
This makes it ex S5-DAM all the way from Slovenia where it was with the Nova Gorica Aero Club and based at Bovec airfield.
 Below is a pic of it with glider tow rope attached at said field taken by Pirih Florijan in 2010.

  3. For a minute I thought "an Auster" as I's so used to seeing my bare frame with no fabric on it! Where is this going to be based?

    It is being recovered in the Aero Club workshop I believe for an owner at Omaka.
