Well today was a bit of a special day for Kapiti, with Wellington Airport not operational due to dense fog, Kapiti had a few diversions in hand.
Sadly the first one I missed due to being at work, which was Cessna 510 ZK-YDZ coming from and returning to Napier.
But the next lot I was around for:
 |
| A very very special visitor, Pilatus PC.24 VH-FGM, seen here taxiing out for departure to Wellington. This arrived from Invercargill earlier. |
 |
| Sounds Air's Pilatus PC.12 ZK-PLB, this diverted doing the Wellington-Taupo run around midday. Later departed to Woodbourne. |
 |
| Air Whanganui's Beech B200 ZK-MDC arriving from Whanganui, this later returned to Whanganui. This did another return trip later in the day. |
Other diversions were:
MBB Kawasaki Bk.117 ZK-IPT trying to reach Wellington as back up for MBB Kawasaki Bk.117 ZK-HLF which has gone in for Maintenance. This has stayed at Kapiti overnight.
As I type this post Air Whanganui's Beech C90A ZK-MKG is arriving from Auckland.
Goes to show how vital Kapiti is when Wellington Airport is not operational for whatever reason.
