No the Kiwi's aren't that stupid! I believe these are new build SH-2G without all the super sexy over the top software we tried to cram into our sprites which was never going to work! Cupra

Aug 28, 2011 19:37 | #14 joeseph wrote in post #13012575 came across This report today, sums up our aircraft pretty well... (sadly)Ours being canceled probably hasn't helped NZ. While we were operating in NZ I saw 2 operating in Whenuapai with the Hueys & then these 2 at Woodburne so that seems to indicate that 4 were up, I guess working up for the world cup? Cupra

I've got shots of nz3602 & 04 both up at the same time @ Whenuapai - so at one time they must have been at least two flyable! Interesting you mention the cup, saw (or rather heard) 4 choppers up in formation one evening last week and only the tail-end charlie had nav lights. We're just down the road from Eden park... some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:
