Helmut,
Love it! Me, only a couple of thousand in the 212, mostly offshore, bit of SAR with the NSCA (where
is Freddo?? <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> ), and some offshore stuff in UnZud in a 205 with lightweight floats: hollow skid tubes. Common NS theory was that the 212 should be painted yellow with a Mack truck hood ornament on the nose <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
Watching the ex military UH1's in a variety of guises currently fire fighting in NSW, mostly bought for the price of a JetRanger, and all doing sterling work under the Restricted category.
HeliPro even ferried a 204 and a BK117 from UnZud earlier this week, two days later they were on the fire line!!
