Zlins down south.

The above two Zlins as seen at Taieri on 17-10-2008. Nearest is ZK-DOZ3 , c/n 010, pretty much time expired. They are only certified for 3000 flying hours.
The partially dismantled green machine behind is trying to become ZK-BOC2. I believe it has not flown in NZ.


These three fuselages sections as seen in the open hangar at Alexandra on 08-10-2008.
From left to right we have c/n 015 which was ZK-RJI. It was damaged at Pukekohe East on 29-04-2005: Central airframe is c/n 011 which to my knowledge has not reached our register. On the right we have C/n 040 which was ZK-RZN and originally ZK-RDZ. It was damaged near Mangaweka on 16-11-07, it still has the engine & bent prop attached.


Now a few pics of some of them in better days.


The green beast . c/n 008 as seen at Taieri on 14-01-07. At this stage it was trying to become ZK-KRB. Now it is working on ZK-BOC but its paper trail is still incomplete.


ZK-DOZ c/n 010 at Rangiora on 20-11-06 before being withdrawn from use, time expired.
