Auscan,
I'm interested in your comments; any other Oz registered helicopters that you know of working on ConUS? Since there is only one 205 registered in Australia (NNN, Helicorp), and one UH-1B, Commercial Helicopters, did Buzz use an Oz registered helicopter in Hawaii?
Again, I have no problem with offshore registered aircraft in Oz, on a level playing field. It just seems to slope uphill from this side, ISTM.
TIA
