I was having a look through the CAA Air Register, and I came across the "Pacific Aerospace CT/4E Airtrainer". Knowing that the Public Register doesn't show mil aircraft, I had a look and it's showing PTA, PTB, PTC, PTD, PTG, PTH, PTI, PTJ, PTK, PTL, PTM and PTV.

Having a look into the registration details, I can see that it was initially registered under ZK-PTA in July 1998, but it was deregistered a month later? Same with the others. Registration came back into effect in March this year.

So this means that our CT4/E fleet has been stripped of air force markings and what-not now? Any pictures?

I would say very likely still in their "bumble bee" colours and simply each aircraft has a civil registration plonked on them.

Have a look through the Hamilton Pictures thread on the photography page, I seem to recall there's some of them on there next to the Aeromotive hangar in HLZ.

Aeromotive Had them up Flying separately(although they were 3 up at one time) around the Local Area over a few days just after they were ZK reg but don't know if the have done so Lately?

Arrr look at that .. now they could be used in the 'Honey Puff' adverts
