The HS748 I know by two names, one is Budgie for the little budget they obviously spent for the invention of this plane and the other one, told by a long time HS748 captain, is Bufl'Bils - Bu(ilt) f(from) l(itter) b(rought) i(nto) l(aughable) s(hape) ... when it comes to this I still wonder how many HAL748 (the Hindustan licensed version) are still in the air, have only seen a total number of 22 of all variant still in service?
