I have had two reports regarding this Robinson R44 Clipper II C-FOTY4 (c/n 12888).
Above we see a photo from Grayson Ottaway of it at Tauranga in less than ideal conditions on Friday the 25th.
Below - in much better conditions - a shot from Richard Currie showing it at Pauanui today.
Built as N457R by Robinson Helicopters of Torrance, California in June of 2009 it was listed with Central Illinois Air Corp out of Mattoon, Illinois before going to Jim Jacobs of Great Barrington Massachusetts later in that year. In January of 2010 it was with Cannon Colibri LLC of Wilmington Delaware before taking up with Zen Aviation In of Dover Delaware during August 2010.
It moved up to Canada to become C-FOTY4 with Ian Underdown of Calgary Alberta.
Being a Clipper you will note the flotation devices attached to the skids.
And
Hairy Mole Rat advises :-
That this 44 has been in Tauranga all winter at Rotofix.
It is off a boat that has been moored at the Tauranga bridge marina.
