These shots were taken on the 3rd/4th Oct (only had my point and shoot). The Orion was only at the airport for less than a day. Arrived on Saturday afternoon and departed Sunday morning, it is from the Chilean Navy.








A Canadair Challenger 601, which is seen in Wellington from time to time.




Now this isn't an aircraft but I still find it quite interesting. I noticed it a month or two back, not sure if it is the real deal or just a random sticker. This is located outside Capital Jet.

Chilean P3 arrived at Woodbourne the day after. It will be here for a major servicing at Safe Air. Probably came through Wellington to clear customs.

It certainly is a favourite Ian! Thanks for sharing the pics of these, I've not seen a Chilean P3 before.
Thanks!

That's a real classic Kiwi vista in the first shot - just needs a few sheep on the grass. tongue.gif
