That FO looks suspiciously like my old instructor, and it could well be because he's an FO with Air Nelson based in Nelson.

Knocked off early to go and see ZK-MVA - but found out it wasn't operating this route Grrr

Oh well that didn't stopme taking photos of ZK-MCF!

It's a Chathams Metro, it's been up in Tonga until recently.

My F/O I had today was flying the Cheyenne up until a few weeks ago. It goes quick but is a little lacking in range so any Trans Tasman trip is via Lord Howe Island

Don't suppose you got off early again today to get a few shots of the all black atr that stopped in today?

I saw it head out of Nelson a few minutes after 5.

yeah I know when I was younger I used to video every landing and always chose a seat by the gear - (8A or 8D)

ZK-XVL is operated out of Ardmore by Auckland Jet Charter, otherwise known as Rural Aviation/Heli Harvest. Its been around for a few years now. Arrived into Nelson Saturday from Ardmore and New Plymouth then departed for Westport and back to Ardmore. Often used on target towing duties for the Navy!
Actually, I've just found this indicating its been around for over a decade now:

As for Sir Peter, he is currently jet-less:

Hopefully just temporary! A 650 would be nice!

Thanks saw MVA this afternoon from work, always to busy to take photos!

if you look up 109 bolt road, Nelson that is where I work from so you can actually see aircraft taxiing off and onto runway 20 if you are looking at the right time! - Its great too because I get to know if there is any unusual aircraft operating, seeing as I work from 6AM to 5pm every weekday!
