I was fortunate enough that in my 8000 hrs on B206 I never had anything serious go wrong. Worst was an electrical failure at night, luckily over Sydney with lots of ambient lighting and the battery held on long enough to radio the tower that I was coming in, then all black. Landed on a taxiway and waited for the FollowMe Jeep to arrive. He nearly ran into me in the dark, then follow him along the taxiways back to our hangar.

The machine fitted me like a glove, a real pleasure to fly.
