Southern Travels

Continuing our travels in the lower South Is the activity was mainly helicopter starting with Wanaka Helicopters' R22 Beta ZK-ISX which was imported new in 2008 and acquired by the company in 2012.


The new High Country Helicopters' base on HWY 94 between Lumsden and Gore offered their Kawasaki Hughes 369D ZK-HCM6 which was imported from Japan in 2004, and acquired by the company in 2012.

Te Anau-Manapouri Airport was a hive of movie activity with a fleet of Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters AS350B being kept busy,  but otherwise in for maintenance were a couple of HeliOps Southland helicopters from their Otautau base.  These were Bell 206B ZK-HRS2 which was imported from Japan in 2000 and joined their fleet in 2016


And R44 II ZK-HXM3 which was imported new in 2005 and added to their fleet in May 2020

Visiting Te Anau from Darfield was Cessna A185F ZK-TLV which was imported from Australia in 2019.
