Actually I have flown with Tim (me as passenger) and he's partly responsible for why im flying today. He used to take us offshore in a B407 to join our ships off of LOOP.

Great guy and didn't realise he was now using S76B.
Sorry to see the damage to this one, which will be a few $$$ to put right. Not sure why just a change of wind direction would cause that to happen and aircraft to end up hundreds of feet away. At least no-one was injured.

I notice no external floats fitted. Are they not required for GoM offshore flying?
