Global Express - First Time !!

These are the first Global Express photos I have taken and posted, not sure why, but anyway managed to get two on the same morning.

First to arrive was Global Express N1DS from Rotorua and then followed by VH-VDX from Essendon. After a short ground stop to clear the New Zealand Formalities VH-VDX then continued onto Tauranga.

Coast Guard Cessna

On a recent visit to Ardmore Airport in south Auckland I just managed to catch the New Zealand Coast Guards Cessna C182T, ZK-SAR.
The crew were just getting ready to depart for a simulated search and rescue flight down to the Firth of Thames. This aircraft is immaculate inside and out, and previously held the registration N90844.
