Golden Bay Air Piper PA-28

I'm back!

Golden Bay Air is a small Kiwi airline based in Takaka. Takaka is located to the north-west of Nelson on the top west of New Zealand's south island, and is known as 'the Golden Bay'. They operate a small fleet of ~3 planes across the Cook Strait and have done so since they began operations in 2005.

They acquired this particular plane, ZK-ZOG, a Piper PA-28-181 in 2011, and continue to fly it today. It replaced a less powerful PA-28-161, registered ZK-EQS following an incident involving that particular aircraft. Their tail numbers follow a particular pattern. So you might notice the tail number of this plane is ZOG. Well, other planes follow the pattern Z_G, with others in the fleet being registered as ZK-ZIG, ZUG, etc. (Note some vowels are/were not used up on their planes as they have had so few planes in their fleet).

ZK-ZOG: 1985* Piper PA-28-181 Cherokee | Golden Bay Air | Currently: In service with Golden Bay Air

*Not 100% sure if that is the correct year, the only source I have found is https://www.airport-...aft/ZK-ZOG.html. It seems fairly reliable, and I haven't found anything else soo...

Oh yeah BTW this is my first template (the DHC-2 Beaver is my second one), so it isn't that good, but I'm still pretty happy with it! Feel free to improve it, I give my full permission! https://drive.google...iew?usp=sharing
