Life Flight Fleet Poster

Life Flight is a non-profit New Zealand air ambulance company that currently operates a fleet of British Aerospace Jetstream 32s (I used the 31 template since there's no 32 template).

Back in the day, they used to operate the Metroliner, but it was retired in 2012 and replaced with the Jetstream. They used to operate Metroliners ZK-LFT and ex-Air Nelson ZK-NSS. Interesting fact, ZK-NSS was one of only a couple Metroliners that never operated for Air New Zealand, or at least, in Air New Zealand colours. These were replaced by ZK-LFW. Between 2016-2017, a second Jetstream was purchased, with the registration ZK-LFT, reusing a registration previously used on a Metroliner.

Not only do they operate the Jetstreams, but they also operate a MBB/Kawasaki BK117 helicopter, which is sponsored by Australian bank Westpac. It bears the registration ZK-HLF, and it is one of the few helicopters that is known as the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. (If someone makes a template of this model of helicopter, I can promise you and guarantee you I will recreate ZK-HLF).

They continue to operate the 2 Jetstreams and the BK117 to this day up and down Aotearoa.
