Cessna 310, ZK-DEM

Back at Ardmore Airport, and this is the first time I've been around when this Cessna 310, ZK-DEM has been on the move. ZK-DEM has been used for Aerial Survey work in the past, and I think it still is today.

Bell Jet Ranger, ZK-IGD

Back at Ardmore Airport mid winter, in nice weather for a change, and lucky to be on hand for these photo's of this Bell Jet Ranger helicopter, ZK-IGD as it arrived and touched down. Nice colour scheme, very bright.

Ardmore Airport Visit

Geez its been a while since I have been out to Ardmore Airport for a visit, so a couple of weeks ago I made the trip out there. I was only there for just over an hour and was pretty pleased with the afternoons movements, with quite a bit of variety in such a short time.

Managed to get the following aircraft types, Cessna 206, 172, 182,  Britten Norman Islander, Aero L39, Bell Helicopter and a CT/4 Trainer.

From Moscow To New Zealand And Back

These Robinson R66 helicopters are on a marathon trip from Moscow, Russia to New Zealand, and Back. Yes that's right all the way from Russia to NZ in these very well looked after R66's, and then these aviators will turn around and head back.

Robinson's RA-06345 and RA-06360 arrived into Ardmore after dark on Sunday evening the 19th Oct from Norfolk Island via Kerikeri in the upper north island of New Zealand.

They will end up in Wanaka, later on this week as their final destination in New Zealand I believe after heading south via Wellington & Christchurch.

MRC Aviation has been following the progress closely of these machines, so keep a look out at MRC for further updates.

Sleeping Planes...and ZK-ZOD

Another quiet day out at Ardmore Airfield with lots of aircraft tied down and doing nothing, on a very nice day for flying weather wise. ZK-ZOD, a Zenith Zodiac Class 2 Microlight landed and pulled up to the Ardmore Cafe, that was the excitement for the day....

No Flying today
