Description
The last addition to the fleet of planes used by NZ Aerial Mapping – the Rockwell Commander ZK-PVA, with its 700hp Garrett turbine engines. These engines give the aircraft a climbing performance unexcelled in New Zealand, apart from military aircraft and the later more powerful Rockwell Commanders.
