I know what you are saying but the Bristol Brittania and DeHavilland Comet both have FAA type certificates as does the Djinn with Sud Aviation stated as the holder. The Americans have their own way of doing things so..........

I was at the Eurocopter operators conference just over two years ago when they announced that they were intending to stop blade production.

Did not go down well. One of the operators pilots was in the same hotel as us and took the time to explain where the Lama beats the Squirrel hands down in a number of areas.

As early as the mid-eighties the Lama was an embarrassment to Aerospat.
We were asked what we would like to see at the factory, unanimous we all wanted to see where they built the Lama's. They refused point blank to show us. We had more chance at getting in to one of the top secret areas.

I think I also owe you an email re Lama tech instructors from before christmas. Not forgotten just in the to do list.
