Helimark,
Last I heard you were an Astar pilot, so I am not quite sure how accurate your account of parts availability would be....unless....... of course, you boys are still clinging on to one or two MD products..........oh go-on admit it, you boys hate to see them go, afraid of what your going to miss
or maybe,......... apart from carrying the extra load, that Astar isn't doing what you thought it would. It certainly would'nt be as much fun to fly.
