Delivered by sea just last week is this tidy Eurocopter EC120B MSN1016. It arrived as VH-NMI and was flown from the Ports of Auckland to Ardmore 14 December and has since taken up the marks ZK-IHV with Van Asch Wines of Queenstown. This airframe has a NZ past with it arriving in July 2004 as VH-POW to become ZK-IJK through until June 2012 when it was exported to become VH-NMI.
The EC120 was noted in the circuit at Ardmore 23 December and later the same day tracking southbound across Cook Strait.
