TET, the rubber and plastic parts still age on finished and parked up helicopters. Are they somehow mothballed? Waste of money not to sell those at discount. Hell, even at least discount and new rotor mast cowling. Doesn't take much more. I flew couple R22s with SH callsign and saw handful around, including Ravens. Maybe Frank/Kurt keep them as ships to deliver short notice at premium, making up for lost cash flow. Still silly if you ask me, since sometime in 2007, as SSH ended early 2008.
VF, your OT post is OTT as usual. Other than flying Astar or Jetranger, you seem to think of Robinson products way too much. Yes, we all know of the downsides of them. We bloody fly them. Yes, I myself will try to diversify into S300 and Cabri for instructing, but at least I'm not over-qualified to fly twins IFR. You're not doing yourself (held in quite an esteem by pilots seeing your photos from Nepal) any favour with such semi-trolling anti-RHC proselytism.
