Thread: Newshub attacking Sika

Here's their reply:

$2020 incl GST for the H500 (max 400kg payload) + DOC land fees of $50.60 each.

So I haven't been into the Kawekas since Chris left.

This is exactly what I used to do. I’d tell him I was coming on a certain day, turn up, sometimes yarn away a couple of hours, and he would fly me to rocks ahead, ballards, north whetu etc, for never more than $250. As I would arrive with a rifle, small pack, and myself, and a willingness to fit in with whatever he had on. Pretty sure he was the last flight I’ve flown in the North Island.
