Are my eyes deceiving me or does one of the above pictures show Carson blades (blades look different in the two shots). With the blades and better avionics Norway will wonder why they paid ten times as much for an S92 to do the same thing.

They don't mess around with metal blades anymore. The Carson kit has really proven their worth. VIH is doing mods to a number of aircraft putting the SAGEM glass cockpit into seven SK61Ns as well as the Carson Blades. Might be making the S92 sales staff a little nervous.
