Retired Britten-Norman Trislander ZK-LGF

Back to some summer time photos at the North Shore Airfield and parked up with no where to go is this retired from service, Great Barrier Airlines Britten-Norman Trislander ZK-LGF.

I am not sure but I think LGF started service at Great Barrier Airlines in 2010 and not sure also of retirement date from the Airline. This aircraft sure has seen better days, after sitting idle on the ground for some time.

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.

Great Barrier Airlines ZK-FVD

Back to some photos from late 2014, and my trip out to Great Barrier Island, with Great Barrier Airlines for the day. The reason for the trip was to get some good photos for Great Barrier Airlines so they could update the photos on their website.

Arriving into Great Barrier just after at the Barrier, their Britten-Norman Islander ZK-FVD arrived with plane load of passengers and freight. After unloading, the pilot then embarked on this quick flight and circuit around the airfield so I could get some photos.

And this is what I can up with, so glad the skies were blue....

Super Moon & Aviation

Well actually not quite a Super Moon, I was 24 hours early for the actual Super Moon on Sunday night the 10th Aug, when I took these photos.
I have been trying for sometime to capture the moon in background shot, and at last wham-o - success.
Not very good photos though, but I'm just glad I got them, so here they are.
