Whisper Jet coming to Te Anau Airport Monday, 5 September, 2011 - 16:26 A BAE-146 Whisper Jet is to land at Te Anau Airport Manapouri on Wednesday in the first jet aircraft landing for the airport. Airport manager Evan Pearce said the jet is owned by Air National and operated by Vincent Aviation Ltd, of Wellington. It will leave Wellington at 8.15am and land at Te Anau Airport Manapouri at 9.45am. The jet will be welcomed by an arch of water from the Te Anau and Manapouri Volunteer Fire Brigades and a flyover by local helicopters and planes. A piper will pipe the visitors in and they will be welcomed by Southland Mayor Frana Cardno, airport chief executive Erik Barnes and Mr Pearce. "This is a big event for this size of airport, as not even Napier, Wanaka, Timaru or Nelson have regular visits from a jet this size," Mr Pearce said. "When you look at what we have done over the past 18 months to bring the airport up to the standard needed, this is the icing on the cake to actually see the aircraft touching down on our runway." The airport widened the runway strip area and installed approach light system to allow for jet operations. Wednesday's flight will bring 18 Tauck Tours clients to Te Anau where they will bus to Milford before climbing back onto the Whisper jet and flying to Queenstown. Early next year it has been rumoured that the Tauck Tours and its aircraft will stay up to two nights in Te Anau before heading to Queenstown. This will be very beneficial to the businesses of Te Anau and Manapouri. www.voxy.co.nz/business/whisper-jet-coming-te-anau-airport/5/100481

Now that the PM has invited the US Marines to visit NZ as a ceremonial visit next year, wouldn't be great if they brought some aircraft and the drill team with them for the airshow......

They seemed to be filming inside the rear of the aircraft whilst it was on the tarmac, lots of people dressed in older style police uniforms etc.

I am informed that it will be ZK-IMK. Arrives via boat on the 21st nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/top-stories/9103048/new-rescue-chopper-to-help-north-island/Media release from Northland Emergency Services Trust Northland Emergency Services Trust (NEST) announced today the purchase of a third helicopter to help service its Northland operations. The purchase is significant for emergency services in the region, with Northland's steady population growth over recent years putting increased pressure on the capacity of organisations such as NEST to provide comprehensive coverage. The investment is welcome news for local medical professionals and residents of Northland communities, 11,500 of whom have used the service since its inception in 1988. Garry Ware, CEO of the Whangaroa Health Services Trust, says the addition of a third helicopter is essential in a region where remote townships struggle for direct access to quality medical care. "The North has a large number of isolated communities that rely heavily on the services NEST provides to maintain connections to major hospitals, with access by road in excess of a several hours for some regions " says Ware. "For those travelling in one of NEST's helicopters the level of need is almost always high and time is of the essence. Put simply, the service increases the chance of our people staying alive. Adding to that resource to ensure complete coverage for our region can only be a positive," he says. The move follows the three helicopter precedent set by Otago which, along with Northland, has the highest workload of the rescue services nationally. NEST Chairman John Bain says the addition of the new helicopter was essential in ensuring rescue services and medical transfers can continue to keep pace with demand. "Civil aviation requirements state that each of our helicopters must undergo a full inspection every 300 flight hours with each of those inspections lasting around five weeks. With the rapid growth in Northland driving up the number of call outs, we are reaching this 300 hour mark increasingly quickly," he says. "While the grounding and inspection of these helicopters is carefully scheduled by the Trust, not having a backup helicopter at all times in such an expansive area is certainly not ideal." The new Sikorsky S76 helicopter will go some way to alleviating the demand caused by the increase in flight hours and will also introduce a second winch - a much needed resource for rescue operations. Currently Northland goes without a winch service during inspection periods. Along with improving rescue services to Northland, the additional helicopter will benefit other North Island services with a backup helicopter when required. During times when all three aircrafts are operational, one will also be made available for the Advanced Pilot Training Programme at Ardmore where training is focused on up-skilling pilots in a vocation which is steadily in decline. The revenue generated from this will further offset operating costs for a third helicopter, ensuring local residents in Northland communities will not wear the cost.
