Googling: Some are half a century old, 25,000+ hours.
Maybe some stuff is going to break now and then...
Wonder how long a Poseidon lasts?

Unbelievable that they cant operate it from Whenuapai.

I am wondering why they can't go to Blenheim?
Plenty of land to extend the runway if needed, and it's pretty much in the middle of the country.
