Ah yes...but NEO...do recall...import duties must be paid on any spares brought into country....and that would require some money to be tied up while the spare sits on the shelf. Do you remember when LT cracked its tail boom and it took eleven weeks for the "spare" to be reworked and shipped to Warri? All that could have been prevented if there had been more than one Chadwick in country and LT could have been tracked...to eliminate the slight 1-1 vertical it had.....the one that physically separated your butt from the seat each time the blade came by. I won't mention the Training Captain's name that said it was okay to fly that way....he is still there I hear.....face sags a bit with age....but then what did a mere redneck know?
