Some helicopters at Taupo

A visit to Taupo Airport today offered a number of helicopters receiving attention at Rotor & Wing starting with the Heli Hire R44 II ZK-IWB which is one of 2  R44s based by the company at Tihoi, north west of Taupo.  IWZ was originally imported new in 2007 as ZK-IPZ being cancelled in 2019 as exported but returning as IWZ in 2021.  No details are known of where it went offshore.

The other Tihoi based R44 is ZK-HXB4 which was imported new in 2010.  Photo at Taupo courtesy the company's Facebook page.

Across from Hawkes Bay was Heli Ag's AS350B2 ZK-ICR which is based at Maraekakaho.   This was imported from the US in 2015.
