Ha ha !!! I think FH1100 is a dinosaur just like his name 🤔
He has slagged off the 505 from the start saying it would do 115 knots max , would need winglets and finished by pronouncing it would definitely never ever be built !!!
Here we are now with deliveries and a proven 125-128! knots and rave reviews ! I agree that the skids look too short but the ones coming out now have longer ones . I agree an aux tank would be nice but one will be available very soon ..... the MD500 has aux tanks but does FH make a fuss about that ??? He is a very disgruntled old man .....and still has not accepted he was wrong and eaten his hat as promised!!
