Tony my friend, before the guys use time here, are you really really gonna buy a helicopter?
Even from what I can remember, you’ve asked about operators with FLIR capability for private lease, chartering a civil tiltrotor, chartering an EH101 in the UK, buying a Cicare Trainer, buying a mobile air traffic and ops room and buying a Lynx helo frame.
Did you get any rides in a Gazelle when you were in the Army? Fine helicopter and maybe ex-military ones about. Any turbine is gonna cost big bucks to maintain, thats the way it is with turbines, but it's the way to go if you can afford it.
