LOL!!

This particular Argo was the victim of the sales department - they had apparently told the customer that the 206L could lift 1200 lbs - well, it could, with only 200 lbs of fuel with the ski basket off, but the ops manual said we couldn't go below 140, so the stage length was rather limited - except that it was 30 miles away! The customer also neglected to take the 4 car batteries out of the boot..... Who said life was easy!
