If there are only two here I am guessing the squadron is still operating it's five King Air 250's as well?

That would be he assumption, Dave. I did see something about a lease extension.

The Royal New Zealand Air Force has welcomed their new fleet of King Air 350 (in new grey livery) aircraft to the Base Ohakea and has said farewell to their King Air 200s. The aircraft is an important part of our modern fleet which we’ve been building up over the past six years.  |

AF News is saying all 4 are here now - has anyone heard anything about what training systems & sensors are (to be) fitted? |
