Air Ambo's

Cruising past Ardmore 29 November and to our surprise was the sight of Waikato Hospital based Bell 222B ZK-HZQ, callsign "Phillips 07". The Bell 222, registered to Search and Rescue Services of Taupo, has been a feature of the helicopter rescue scene in New Zealand since 1994. Search and Rescue Services also have another Bell 222 register with ZK-HIG, a U model, being registered in January 2015. 

Also on location at Ardmore was Kawasaki BK117 B-2 ZK-IRU, also listed to the Taupo operator. It has been in the country a little over four years having been flown in as VH-BKS arriving Ardmore 10 November 2012 from Noumea via Norfolk Island and Auckland.
