Helicopters around Auckland

A visit to the CG Aviation facility at Ardmore today revealed that their newly imported Sikorsky S-76C++ ZK-ICG2 is now in service.  This was imported from Canada in late 2021.    Their earlier S-76B ZK-IBI2 is likely to be replaced by another S-76C.

In for maintenance was the Coromandel based White Star Honey's Schweizer 269C-1 ZK-HVO2.  This was imported from the US in 2002 and has been owned by the company since 2017.

Up at North Shore airfield the Airlift NZ Bell 206L-4 LongRanger ZK-IBN2 had returned from a flight.  This was imported from the USA in early 2021.

Receiving attention was Orbit Helicopter's AS355F-1 ZK-IDU which has not been blogged here before. Being one of 3 AS355F in the company's fleet it was imported from Italy in 2018.

And making a quick stop for supplies was Talley's tuna boat Hughes 369HS ZK-HTL4.    This was originally imported from the US back in 2003.
