"Year 2007 ADF helo operating costs per flying hour provided to ASPI by Defence were: Sea King-$23,616; Blackhawk-$20,659; Iroquois-$7,738 (due to reduced flying rate while being withdrawn from service); Kiowa-$2,865. A Hotel model Iroquois upgraded to Huey II costs about $5,000 per flying hour to operate."
These figures look very high to me, specifically the Iroquois and Kiowa. Anyone with different figures to this. I am on a oil company network and limited time to research.
I would have thought Iroquois at thirty percent of the figure quoted, and Kiowa at 20% of the figure quoted.
