Would appreciate any contributions that can shed some light on how well the EC 135 works in the offshore world. The decks are not big enough for a 365 so it has to be something smaller with a two pilot cockpit. Platforms are no more than 40 miles from base. MD902 is looking shaky right now but maybe the 109 is also in that 'how good will the after-sales support be' bracket. EC have not always enjoyed a good reputation in that area either but they look like they are the best of the bunch right now.
Anybody got any first hand experience with this size of machine offshore? What about Bell's products?
