The pilot survived the crash and was winched to safety by one of the NEST Sikorsky 76 helicopters from Whangarei.

she was recently spied at beck helicopters about a week before her mishap
ReplyDeleteI also saw the LR at Beck Helicopters but assumed that it was ZK-HTK which is owned by Heliview in New Plymouth and looks identical to this chopper.
