New Zealand Based Pazmany PL-2 ZK-TLP Arrives into Rockhampton Airport

A nice light General Aviation (GA) arrival into Rockhampton Airport late on Sunday 16 June with New Zealand-based Pazmany PL-2 ZK-TLP touching down from Redcliffe.  It stayed the night and was photographed resting on the Rockhampton Airport GA Apron early on Monday 17 June.

Normally based at Tauranga in New Zealand, ZK-TLP is reportedly on another trip to Australia departing from Kerikeri early last weekend and heading to Lord Howe Island, the Gold Coast and Port Macquarie.  ZK-TLP arrived into Redcliffe last Friday 14 June.

ZK-TLP is reportedly configured with a fuel endurance of 10 hours.

At the time of writing, on Monday 17 June, ZK-TLP has departed Rockhampton Airport for the North-West.

UPDATE!  On Thursday 20 June, ZK-TLP was noted arriving into Darwin Airport.

UPDATE!  On Saturday 29 June, ZK-TLP was noted flying from Longreach Airport to Charleville Airport.

Pair of New Zealand Registered Light GA Aircraft Spotted at Longreach Airport - Pazmany PL-2 ZK-TLP & Vans RV 7A ZK-ECE

Early on Friday 6 April, a nice and interesting pair of New Zealand-registered light General Aviation (GA) aircraft was spotted resting quietly at Longreach Airport after it appears they arrived the previous day.  The aircraft have been identified as Pazmany PL-2 ZK-TLP and Vans RV-7A ZK-ECE.

It appears the pair are touring around Australia and arrived into Longreach Airport from Redcliffe via Chinchilla and Charleville on Thursday 5 April.

One report suggests that the Pazmany ZK-TLP is the only one flying in New Zealand and that there are only two airworthy examples in Australia.

UPDATE!  On Saturday 7 April, both ZK-TLP and ZK-ECE were noted departing Longreach Airport for the South-West.

UPDATE!  On Sunday 8 April, both ZK-TLP and ZK-ECE were noted departing Birdsville for Northern New South Wales (NSW) on the continuation of their tour.
