Enjoying the solar radiation at Heli Maintenance 23-02-2012

Christchurch based, but not all that often observed, is the Robinson R44 ZK-HWT3 (c/n 0094) belonging to Donald Irvine. It is a 1994 model which arrived here from VH land for North Shore Helicopters in October of 2002. It spent a short time with NZ Paradise Holidays Ltd of Auckland between October 2009 and mid December 2009, when it went to Don.

Another Christchurch local -which has just come off a major check - is the Eurocopter EC 120B Colibri ZK-IFR2 (c/n 1312). This came from South Africa and first flew in NZ on 14-12-2007. It has been listed to Wairakei Holdings since arriving here.
