H F T setting up at Rangiora.

H F T Ltd are to open a helicopter flight training establishment at Rangiora in early 2014.

The Schweizer 269C-1 ZK-HJU5 (c/n 0020) clattered into town yesterday and is seen above at its new operating area. I believe two helicopters will be housed initially in the hangar just out to the left of this pic , with a flight office in the old Airwork offices in the background.

H F T also currently operates two other Schweizer 269C-1's ZK-HMC2 and ZK-HNC3 plus the AB206A ZK-HMU3; The Bell 47G3B2 ZK-ICJ and the Bell 47J-2 Ranger ZK-ICN.
