Hey Guys,

Went out to Rotorua Airport today and found out that there had been a helicopter crash this morning on the airfield.
The R-22 belonged to Astral Helicopters (ZK IMO).
The pilot is ok but the helicopter is in pretty bad shape and likely to be a write off from what I hear.

Oh wow, I see IMO all the time when I'm out in JFK - that's a tad scary. I fly out of the same hanger that the Astral guys use - so I'm glad that the chap is alright...
