We are very familiar with the Northland Emergency Services Trust's Sikorsky S 76 helicopters overflying Warkworth on their way from Northland usually to the Auckland City Hospital heliport, and returning. But this afternoon saw a flurry of activity in the skies:
S 76C ZK-HQC5 (HLM 4) was on a different track than normal, flying slowly North and as I discovered from my photo, with its undercarriage down.
It must have been on a training flight, as this was its track from Flight Radar 24/7. Later it landed at Whenuapai and then after a short time on the ground it headed back to Whangarei.
As all this was happening, the older NEST S 76B ZK-IAL (HLM 2) flew overhead on its way South to Auckland. You can see it on the Flight Radar 24/7 screenshot above, just North of Warkworth.
