Saw this L-29 parked at Ardmore yesterday. Registration is ZK-SSS (the first SSS was a Grumman Cougar) and ownership is listed as Pacific Airways Ltd., Auckland so presumably it will be resident here.
Any idea on which air force markings it currently wears? (looks Spanish it me, but I guess that's wrong).

Retirement is something for the young.
Once you are old you never seem to have the time.

Oops.

The centre of the cockade looks green on my computer monitor, but I should have realised that Bolivia operate US-sourced aircraft.

Here is a sister-ship flying with the Romanian Air Force
