FH-1100
Good day Savoia,
You continue to pitch up with some good shots of 1970s helicopters.
I always felt the Hiller 1100 machine was a much underated type. I know the early C-18 had the usual power defficiencies but I liked the handling, the cabin comfort and the overall design simpllicity. I first got to fly the type when a short trip was arranged by the Enstrom Chief Engineer, Herb Moseley. (God bless him) 'Twas out of an HAI event at LV to Henderson Airfield where the 1100 awaited. Nothing to do with the handling but I guess you know the engine compartment boasted a neat 'pull-down' platform for servicing & working tools. I seem to recall that in the 1980s the type was being advertised in USA for not much over $100,000. In those days £100k sterling bought nearly $200k US dollars. Anyone on here still flying the 1100on a daily basis? Regards to all. Dennis K.
