Today was Life Flight Wellington's open day. This is a big day for them the show what they do, and to raise some money for their rescue helicopter and air ambulance services.
I realised after I left I don't really have any pictures from inside the hangers, where they had food, bomb disposal, drug dogs, police, ambulances and fire service demonstrations... you'll just have to picture that :-P
Outside they had their British Aerospace Jetstream J32, ZK-LFW air ambulance and Kawasaki BK117 B2, ZK-HLF, rescue helicopter. The Jetstream was on static display with queues of people wanting to take a look through it, and the helicopter had the same queues in between its displays.

Soon after these photos were taken, I headed over the to Aero Club. As you'll see from the following photos, the weather got worse after I left the displays... very glad I was not flying today!

Mitsubishi MU-2B-30 departs and Life Flight Open Day tomorrow!
I arrived at the Aero Club on a warm and not-too-windy day just in time to New Zealand's on Mitsubishi MU-2B-30, ZK-KOH, depart for Wellington.
This aircraft is operated by Search and Rescue Services of a Taupo address and so I presume it was operating as an air ambulance.
In other, semi-related news, the local Life Flight rescue and air ambulance service has their open day tomorrow, Sunday 22 March. Present will be the fixed wing and helicopter aircraft, other emergency services, food and drink and plenty to do for the kids. Even if the weather is a bit dodgy, they have a couple of big hangers and you'll be able to look inside their aircraft.

Do take a look and support them if you are able. They are located next to the Aero Club, so are very easy to find!
