The 10 AB 206.s are in N Z and are worth no more than say half that or less . I bought 5 of them a couple years ago and they cost a fortune to re reg onto the G. I am amazed at what people are hanging out for on their aircraft in a recession and hundred sitting unused inhangars !! I sold my v nice 206 1977 5,000 tt in 2000 for £160k ....it should now be worth £140 tops but i see people asking £200k !!!!! Just wait a month or two and you will pick up a lovely AB ( which should go for a hefty discount compared to bell ) for little over £100k . Combine the SFH with the maintenance using my stockpile of parts and you could be looking at £10k per member and fly for £200 hr dry . Tht would be more interesting ??
