2002 edition Eurocopter EC120B VH-VHJ turned up at Wanaka 26 September having been shipped to New Zealand from Australia, so potentially flying in from Dunedin, Timaru or Christchurch!
The helicopter has most recently been registered to Nautilus Aviation PTY of Cairns and it is understood will take up the registration ZK-HAM with Alpine Helicopters. This will be the third use of ZK-HAM, the first was applied to a gyrocopter from 1960 until 1963 and then to a Robinson R22 Mariner from 1997 until its demise in 2013.
