Hello everyone,

Olga has asked me to post this.

I did the Mil Cup in 2006 (got a Bronze, so not bad).

It was great fun, the vodka was first class, and this time it is being run to co-incide with HeliRussia Expo.

If any owners wants to fly to Moscow in R22/R44 then I'll be delighted to organise, maybe on a cost share basis?? (Try to keep the sarcasm to a minimum, guys, it's all do-able and the British Team flew out en mass in 1993)

If you want any more info, please PM me or contact Olga direct.

Do we still need to have a russian representative onboard for flights in russian airspace? If so, and you go as a formation of say 2 or 3 R44s - can you get away with just one aircraft in the combine having the rep onboard?

Hi ... Any Enstrom 28/280C owner out there who'd be interested in taking part on a 50/50 cost sharing basis. The idea would be to participate in the 'freestyle' section. FX model also suitable or possibly Schweizer 300C version. Would offer some 'display' training as part of the deal if wanted.

PM or E-mail at [email protected]

Best wishes,
