A judge has rejected the New Zealand Defence Force's claim that a training exercise in which a decorated soldier died was exempt from health and safety laws.
This is in part because the training couldn't be deemed "operational" because it used US Black Hawk helicopters, which the New Zealand army does not normally have access to. The Black Hawk helicopters would therefore be unavailable for the New Zealand Defence Force to use in response to a domestic incident.

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
To be fair it's serial construction number 1206 ... and it is the first in the world to reach 2000 flying hours... it means the NH-90's are over worked and we don't have enough air frames to spread the work load out over the entire fleet. No something to be proud of really.
