A gorgeous sunny day on the Kapiti Coast and all that had to happen was something nice to visit Kapiti Airport for me to photo.
And this Cessna 510 Citation Mustang coming in did just the trick. ZK-LCA is on a New Zealand tiki tour and appears to be visiting almost every field with a sealed runway, having started from Hastings on Monday and heading to Auckland, Whangarei, Hamilton and Tauranga. Then Tuesday going on to Whakatane, Rotorua, Taupo, Gisborne and Napier. Then today doing New Plymouth, Whanganui, Palmerston North, Kapiti Coast and Wellington! Nice for some people.
I raced out to the airport after work and got there in time for its arrival and the sound of it downwind was incredible. Sadly where it taxied was unexpected, so got little photos of arrival. But got in the right place for the departure. I'll let the photos speak for themselves:
 |
| Slowed down and taxiing to gate 1 after arriving from Palmerston North |
 |
| Parked up at gate 1 |
 |
| Backtracking 34 for departure to Wellington |

| Lined up and ready to go. |
Absolute pleasure photographing this bird, been a while since i've photographed a Cessna 510 at Kapiti. Looking forward to the next one and all the best to the group on board!
