Eurocopter AS 350B2 Squirrel ZK-HFH5 (c/n 3253) was noted at Heli Maintenance Ltd at Christchurch today (20-08-2015) about to get snow shoes fitted.

Grand Prairie in Texas as N159JK before being hidden in the books of the Wells
Fargo Bank Northwest NA Trustees of Salt lake City Utah on 10-02-2000.
