Yes it's me again......dithering as usual......damn if only this was as easy as choosing what beer I wanted to drink.

Most of the concensus seems to point toward the Gazelle but as I said before I just think it would be a bit expensive to have a machine like the Gazelle and not to make anything out of it.
Now a friend of mine in Safrica has pointed me in the direction of a B206 L3 ......lease it to someone who does executive charter work perhaps ?

Anyway I have decided that the best thing to do is to try and arrange a flight in each of the machines recommended and to see if firstly I am happy flying the bird, which is the main purpose for me wanting to buy one anyway and then secondly to gauge the need for the particular machine in the market.

Do you think that this would be a good thing to do or not and secondly would I be waisting my time looking at a long ranger ?

Cheers
Mark
