Final flight for NZ4203 After 55-years with our whānau, NZ4203 flew its final flight today from Base Auckland to Base Woodbourne.
The P-3K2 Orion arrived in New Zealand in January 1967 and has undertaken more than 27,000 flying hours, circumnavigating the globe in support of RNZAF deployments and exercises. This aircraft is the first of the fleet of six to retire before we welcome the new P-8A Poseidon fleet.
