The final flight on May 21, 2022, of the 69-year-old ZK-CIB (msn 327A) from Auckland Int'l to Wanaka was also the last take-off of a passenger Convair turboprop in the world, according to a social media post by the airline.

At the time of filming the retirement of the filmed airframe, Air Chathams Convair 580 ZK-CIE, was scheduled for September the same year. Being the last purely passenger configured Convair aircraft in operation globally, this was an extremely rare and late chance to capture the legacy of Convair's plane making legacy for future generations. Enjoy a fantastic ferry flight from Auckland to Christchurch.
