ZK-HZZZZs - It is Worse Than I Thought!

A couple of days ago I posted photos of the Skywork Helicopters Twin Squirrel ZK-HZZ7 at Kaipara Flats, and I also delved back into the blog to find photos of ZK-HZZ the sixth and ZK-HZZ the fifth which were also Skywork Helicopters Squirrels and all painted in the same bright colour scheme.

I also posited that this could be confusing for helicopter spotters

Now thanks to Richard Currie I can confirm that it didn't stop there, but went back through ZK-HZZ the fourth, ZK-HZZ the third and ZK-HZZ the second all the way back to to 1999 - all Skywork Helicopters Squirrels and as far as I know all painted the same!

Here is the list:

HZZ/2   AS350D                1382                      Feb 99 > Apr 02

HZZ/3   AS350BA             1821                      Dec 02 > Aug 03

HZZ/4   AS350B3             3239                      Sept 03 > Aug 05

HZZ/5   AS355N                5740                      Feb 06 > Oct 08

HZZ/6   AS350B3             3780                      Nov 09 > Jan 13

HZZ/7   AS355N                5691                      Feb 13 & current


Now that is really confusing for helicopter spotters!


Thanks for the info Richard.
