Things could still change then , but still a Dash8 as replacement ... wonder if second hand ex ANZ ?
I have heard the replacement for the King Airs 200s are more than likely to be King Air 350s including some MP variants
They least are well proven , i guess costing being the thing , and with recent disasters across the country , they may even be later .
Shame poor JMY and the rest of the CTC fleet is all blurry in the pics, I took JiMmY down to New Plymouth that afternoon too

I'm practically famous! I flew JMY in and out of there. Certainly not the easiest airspace to get around with the jets coming and going. Cheers for the link

Yep, it was awesome fun. Best moment was at 5500" crossing the straight direct from Karori Rock to Cape Campbell.
Oh and landing in Dunedin with the headwind 40knots gusting 60. Hovered onto the runway
I'll have to start a new thread for the photos
