No stick time, only been allowed to drool in the vicinity (then ordered off smartly once the saliva problem was noticed, ohh the leather upholestry
).
Two based in Canberra. One private ac owned by the Airport operator.
One on lease and operated by Canberra Helo's (Have'nt seen a blade turned in anger yet).
Bloke I know flew the private machine occasionally (yep got the air con +++ all the other extra's). Had mentioned the lack of Grunt on hot/high days (Canberra's at 1800ft AMSL and during the summer temps are around 30+ most days).
I know of an ag operator in NZ bought one (errr I don't think it was for ag work though-
- maybe he was moving to the corporate stuff???)
Anyway a logging ship ran aground and the 120 with grapple was used to unload some of the timber (+a heuy from the same operator). Would be interesting to see the fuel/load figures for that op.
