An interesting arrival into RNZAF Whenuapai 10 June was the United States Army operated Cessna 560 Citation Ultra 96-0109. Designated as a UC-35A in Army service, 96-109 arrived at Whenuapai from Brisbane as "NINJA86" having initially turned up at Darwin 08 June from Manado, Indonesia then heading to Alice Springs and Brisbane 09 June.
This particular example appears to be stationed at Atsugi Air Base, Japan and is one of 26 Citation 560's in service with the Army.
