Very, very nice machine on first appearances. As a flight paramedic myself I would have a concern for the low tail rotor, but that could be ameliorated with proper training.

I would love to get my hands on one of these, but in reality there is no way that we will ever see one in South Africa. Not when have only 5 EMS helo's in the whole country due to the expense (I am open to correction on this figure, but I believe I am right). A lot of people die unnecessarily because of this, but the money is not there so what can we do?

Cheers, and happy flying.
