AS350 Squirrel N349BB / ZK-IRS

A recent arrival to New Zealand is this 2005 edition Aerospatiale AS350B2 Squirrel marked as N349BB MSN 3641. While still wearing its FAA marks, the helicopter has been officially placed on the NZ register back on 20 September this year as ZK-IRS with Stark Airlines of Hamilton. Stark previously operated two GA8 Airvans under the Flystark banner, more on their operation can be found HERE

This Squirrel appears to have spent most of its life in Brazil where it flew as PR-CAA until 2016 when it headed to the USA becoming N349BB. 

At Ardmore 23 October 2018.
