Hi Jim, are you EUROCOPTER representative?
It seems so.
Without trying to minimize the performance of Olivier, I believe that in that particular day you may have achieved the record also with a common Lama.
AIR ZERMATT will continue to fly Lama 'til the next century....but they are not alone!
About the mistery copter which performed the Guinnes record:
you may notice that the chinese hat is missed as well the higher ldg gear and original doors etc etc.
The ship was prepared for this performance, and turbomeca agreed also some excedances
So, nobody said that the B3 isn't a good ship, it just depend of what and where your committed to fly
