Life Flight's New Jetstream and Open Day

When I was in Wellington last month I called in to the Life Flight's Air Rescue Centre base at the airport where the nose of their new Jetstream was poking out of the hangar.  I was generously shown around by Sebastien Grodd who is Life Flight's Marketing and Fundraising Manager.

BAe Jetstream 32 ZK-LFT2 (c/n 977) arrived in New Zealand on 1/9/16 and then underwent a major Emergency Medical Services upgrade to accommodate 5 seats and 2 stretchers which can accept neo-natal flight incubators.

Life Flight is launching a fundraising campaign to raise $50,000 to help pay off the loan that they took out for the aircraft, culminating in an Open Day from 10 am to 2.30 pm at their Air Rescue Centre at Wellington Airport.
