Don't knock the Puma/Super Puma so much. Ive been flying them both military and civil since 1971. A few breaks, ie. the S76, but generally speaking thirty years experience and about 12,000 hrs. I have never had a moment of concern with the aircraft. A few, very few problems but not to worry about. I admit other people have had a bag of nails on their lap so maybe I have been lucky. It's an old airframe going back to 1966, but there are older, Chinook?, and nobody complains about them. When you screw it up, and I have many times, the old Puma will always pull you out of the crap..
