Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it's Rose - the helicopter.
A new US Black Hawk helicopter hit the skies this weekend after making its home in the Bay of Plenty.
Whakatāne based Kahu NZ shared the news on its Facebook page.
"After a few good years we now have our own Black Hawk (N160PA) resident and operating in New Zealand.
"This aircraft is like no other. It's immensely impressive and going to have an amazing future here in New Zealand and our neighbouring regions."
