This brings back old memories
I was the Bell Test Pilot to put this sweet old bird through production test flight and then had the pleasure of flying conversion training with some of the super pros that BCAL had put on staff to make the operation a go.
I'll never forget the good times in Teeside and Aberdeen, and rental car sacrifices we all did on both sides of the pond.
I'm still here at Bell as Principal production Test Pilot, still having fun and seeing the world.
I must say, of all the machines we've built through the years, this model is still one of my most favorite.
