The former A9-291
in RNZAF markings as NZ4206 on approach to Edinburgh, SA on 12 November
1986 for the Fincastle Trophy competition. Note that the aircraft number
on the nose has been crudely prefixed with the letters "KZ".
This refers to the America's Cup challenger elimination rounds which
were sailed in waters off Fremantle in January/February 1987. New Zealand
was represented by the yacht KZ7 which defeated all the other challengers
except the USA.
