BK117 ZK-HQI

Spotted on 3 March arriving by air and departing by boat from Auckland's Jellicoe Wharf was Helilink's BK117 ZK-HQI.  This helicopter was registered to Helilink as recently as 17 February having arrived from Japan however the airframe is no stranger to NZ having flown as ZK-HHV before heading across the Tasman in 2007 for operations with Australian Customs.

It is understood ZK-HQI is headed for Brisbane by sea then will be flown to PNG.
