Wellington stopover # 3

 Kawasaki BK118 B2 ZK-HLF2 (c/n 1070) is listed to Helilink Ltd of Auckland. It came under the Westpac Rescue Helicopters banner on 16-01-2004. It is Wellington based as part of the Life Flight organisation. A 1990 model it came to NZ in November of 1995 and initially served as ZK-HZJ2.

 Nice to see some young people in aviation. Here TAW gets a preflight.

 

 Sounds Air Travel and Tourism Ltd have been in the news recently with the entering into service of their 4th Cessna 208 Caravan.

I spotted three of them at their ops area at Wellington on Monday morning. Above is ZK-SAN2 (c/n 20800360) recently re-registered from ZK-TZR.

Below is the latest addition - newly painted and with upgraded instruments and interior - ZK-SAY2 (c/n 208B0861), previously ZK-MJL.

ZK-PDM was on its tie downs, whilst the 4th Caravan, ZK-SAA, I believe is now undergoing an upgrade.
