Our perfect power-line pair ventured out to Kaitoke yesterday to help ensure our national power grid is maintained.🔋👨🔧
This operation is called human sling and it’s almost self explanatory, we lower power-line workers onto the line to do necessary repairs as these areas have very limited access.
Check out some of the awesome pics we got while keeping your power on at home! 🤩🚁

What age can I start helicopter flight training?
You might be surprised to know that there aren't actually many age limits in aviation. You can start training at any age, as long as you can reach the controls! You also need to be old enough (or young enough...!) to understand the process and procedures, so that you'll get some benefit from the training, otherwise it's an expensive hobby...
You do have to be 16 years or older to fly a helicopter by yourself ("going solo"), but if you're in good health, there's nothing stopping you getting airborne in the twilight years...
Get on the controls with this introduction to helicopter flight training offer: https://helicopters.rezdy.com/589547/introduction-to-helicopter-flight-training-2023

This weekend Aotearoa celebrates the Matariki public holiday. Matariki is known as the Māori New Year, a time of celebrating, honouring and looking forward to the new year ahead.
The reappearance of the Matariki stars in the early morning sky brings the past year to a close and marks the beginning of the new year.
Matariki is the Māori name to a star cluster that appears in the early morning sky in New Zealand during the mid-winter months. Historically, the stars of Matariki were closely tied to planting, harvesting and hunting. If the stars appeared clear and bright, it signified an abundant season ahead.
Happy Matariki to you all.

Wellington is known for its vibrant culture and iconic events and we’re looking forward to sharing our city, Tākina and the manaakitanga of our people.”
John Allen, CEO at WellingtonNZ shares Mayor Whanau’s excitement. “We’re delighted to be partnering with TIA to deliver a TRENZ that will have enduring benefits for our tourism operators.”
