Peninsula chopper service may expand

A decision to base a rescue helicopter on the Coromandel Peninsula during January has been heralded a massive success – with plans to extend the service to future public holidays.

The Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust team completed 66 missions from their base in Whitianga and helicopter manager Greg Brownson said there was already a commitment to return in January 2012.

I don't know how he managed it, but I've already got kubota engines in both the tractor and the lawn mower. blink.gif
He must of done some sort of mind trick in the past, to influence my dad to buy them. dry.gif

Hehe funny thing about Kubota tractors. In the late 70's my Dad wanted to import the mini tractor Kubotas for orchard work in and around Te Puke, but it was against the law as there were strict rules about what you could import, and the government wanted to protect Power Pony (for those of you old enough to remember them!).
Anyway, long story short, Dad got a couple of the little Kubota's "imported" (smuggled) and drove to his MP with a little Kubota and a Power Pony on a trailer to show him the difference and get the law changed. Which it was. Boy did they sell fast!

Back to the thread, I'm glad the boys in red and yellow didn't get a Bell 412. What a piece of pirate.gif *&#(^&$&#* they are!! Stick with the BK until you can justify an AW139 cool.gif
Cheers
