Nice to see NZ logo on some tech gear. Flying in the Iroquoi's is a bit like hitching a ride in a series landie: all good but there's better tools for the job (fetch popcorn now for LR bites)

Yea these are the choppers that are dropped off two at a time by the Russian Antonov AN124.
They are a bloody huge aircraft when you get up close and personal with them!
We have two more NH90s to arrive and that will take the final number to 8 plus one spare frame as a "Parts Truck" sorry couldn't help myself
As far as the smaller A109 helicopters go, we have had all 5 up and running since early last year plus one complete spare again. You don't hear much about these ones in the media though.
