Helicopter in the ME...

Dear helicopter guys (and girls),

somebody asked me about my opinion about which helicopter to buy for a very warm and moist climate (elevation: SL) with flights to and from higher elevations nearby where it is rather dry. Hot and high performance is to be considered.

Since I am and airplane driver and don't pretend to know anything about these scary things with rotors on top, I am asking you for any expertise on that.

I guess, from what I read, a helicopter driven by 2 turbines is a must and the cabin size of an Augusta 109 or Sikorsky 76 seems to be appropriate. And it would be an advantage to have actual operational experience on the Arabian Peninsula.

Don't ask me how serious the guy is - but he is loaded with money, that's for sure and that's a good start as well.

Thank you a lot for your input!

Best regards
