Hi Rotormotor, I flew my AS350B for 4 years as a family vehicle, wife, 2 kids, luggage and full fuel, its the most wonderful ship there is. If you can still find one, they are hard to come by and pricey, especially as you go up to B2. We live at altitude (5500ft AMSL) and the EC120 is no good here, nice to look at, but wont lift the skin off a rice pudding on a hot day with more than 4 souls on board. At the coast its OK. Jetranger similarly limited. Longranger and 407 are big guns for family cars, but if budget is not a problem go for it. I still think the Squirrel is tops.
