Trainer
The Pacific Aerospace Corporation CT/4 is a NZ built, basic trainer designed in the early 1970s. The design evolved from the Australian Victa Aircruiser but had a 2-seat cockpit with the instructor and student sitting side by side and an optional third seat in the rear. A jettisonable, rearward hinged lifting canopy was installed as well.
The CT/4s were purchased by the RNZAF in 1976 for the central flying school (replacing the war time Harvards) training hundreds of kiwi airforce pilots until 2014 when the type was replaced by the Beechcraft T-6 Texan II.
The CT/4 on display (ZK-DGY) was built in 1972 and is the first prototype of the production model.
