A trip around the helicopter facilities in the Waikato was rewarded with a number of machines in residence starting with Tararua Heliwork's Bell 206B ZK-HPK3 arriving for attention at Rotorcraft Hamilton. This was originally imported from Japan for the company in 2001 as ZK-HBD3, being reregistered HPK in 2002. Despite now being registered to Wairarapa Helicopters it remains in service with Tararua Heliwork.
At Rotor Work's maintenance base at Kihikihi was their sole AS350B2 ZK-HAN2. This was imported for them in 2013 from the USA.
And over at Heli Ag Waikato's base at Te Pahu their Bell 206B ZK-HFE3 was resident. This was imported from Japan in 2006 initially for Paihia based Salt Air, moving onto Heli A1 in 2011, Precision Helicopters in 2012 and then Heli Ag in 2018.
The company also operates R44 sprayers ZK-HSY2 and HUB2.
