Two of the New Zealand Defence Force’s
front-line operational helicopters visited
the former RNZAF base at Wigram
last week, as part of a helicopter fun
day run by the Air Force Museum of
New Zealand. The event was part of
Kidsfest, and attracted more than 3600
people. Helicopter-themed activities
in the museum included camouflage
face painting, craft activities and a
helicopter hunt. Members of the public
got the opportunity to get up close to
the NH90 and A109 helicopters from
No 3 Squadron Royal New Zealand Air
Force, and chat to the air and ground
crews.
