New Zealand website scene.co.nz reports that Peter Jackson’s Gulfstream private jet was spotted in Queenstown yesterday. The report states that post touchdown, a 15-person entourage headed out for a hanger at local chopper company Heliworks.
An eye-witness also states that:
“There were about 13 to 15 of them and they had a huge amount of gear and they all took off in choppers.”
