2023's Great Kiwi 500 Fly-in |
The Hughes/MD500 has been an iconic sight in New Zealand skies for decades from the time that American Mel Cain imported the very first one for venison recovery; an industry that would account for the majority of 500s imported into New Zealand. That first 500 started a love affair with this unique machine and since those days the 500, or 'Five-Hundy' as its commonly known, would become a stalwart of the Kiwi skies working in the ag' industry, tourism, utility and as private machines for their owners' use. |
