From another forum

Sadly, 4 Kiwi airman have joined the long list of those who have died in the service of their country. A Huey from No 3 Sqn RNZAF crashed en route RNZAF Ohakea to Wellington for the ANZAC commemoration. 3 on board died; oneis seriously injured in hospital.
 
We've had the Iroquois' since 1966, so it's true they're not young, but you can bet if there was anything suspicious with them they would be grounded in a flash. Our mechanics and pilots are professionals, so I'm guessing the weather played a key role here.
 
My friend Glen who is based at Ohakea says that they had the first of the burials yesterday. I hope the Station Padre took the service becuase having met him he is a lovely man and would make a very good fist of it. His father was a 75 (NZ) Sqn Bomber boy and hes been at Ohakea for some time so would be really appropriate.
Ohakea Base is a very devastated place at the moment..

I'm not surprised Dee...We lost an instructor and pupil in a CT/4B crash when I was in...everyone was saddened at the loss.
Thanks for the update.
