A late afternoon visit to Hastings before the rain arrived offered the Lowe Corp Hawkes Bay Rescue helicopter, BK117B-2 ZK-HIQ5, which was acquired in 2018 and is based at Hawkes Bay Hospital
And the latest addition to the busy Air Hawkes Bay fleet (May 2020) is Cessna 152 ZK-TOC, previously with NZICPA at Whanganui. It has consequently lost its Silver Fern tail emblem.
