Did you know about this new rescue helicopter?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato’s new rescue helicopter has an auto take-off function and can carry more kit.

The $20 million dollar 5-blade Airbus H145 D3 has come “straight from the factory floor” in Germany, and replaces the former H145 Wespac rescue helicopter, which is going to Tauranga.
