US Navy aircraft at Wellington

After the recent [and ongoing] earthquakes near Kaikoura, there have been a number of unusual movements at Wellington. I haven't managed to photograph them all, but here are a couple of photos.

First up is an MH-60R Sea Hawk, HSM-73, which is attached to the USS Sampson.

Next up [and I don't know if related to the earthquake recovery at all] is a US Navy-operated Gulfstream G-V/ C37B, 16-6376.

The US Secretary of the Navy is in town and visited the USS Sampson on Sunday afternoon with the US Ambassador.
