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.”

TORn regulars will recall our previous reports concerning “The Hobbit” scouting parties in Queenstown from as far back as November 2009. For those who missed those reports, they can still be accessed from the links provided below:
