Low level departure for ZK-HEF

Captured yesterday (12-10-2010) departing from Pacific Aircraft Services at Christchurch following maintenance was the Robinson R22 Beta ZK-HEF2 (c/n 1554) of Heli Max Ltd of Rangiora.

This little Robbie has been around since 1990 when it popped up as ZK-HKH2 with Kim Hollows. It went through a bunch of owners until being damaged in June of 2002. It was rebuilt as ZK-HEF2 and spent time with Christchurch Helicopters until being sold to Anglesea Cottage Co Ltd in May of 2005 and was operated as Heli Max Ltd and eventually being registered to that name on 14-08-09.
