Best Ski heli

Got to agree with 407 Driver. It makes business sense, but the B3 does a damn good job. Used all over the world.

Yes the Lama is good, but seems to be out dated with the new stuff thats coming in. Twins seem fav (i guess due to JAR)...etc. etc.. EC135/145 even the old Kawasaki BK-117 may even re-appear. (I have read John Eacott's outfit uses it in Aus).

We know what is used in Canada, but would be good to hear from the Swiss, French and Austrian pilots. I guess Eurocopter products are used there too, and the Bell products in the US and Canada.. Down under in NZ and Aus..whats going on?

Could be a good discussion this...
