I have a Clock from one that I flew on its last Revenue flight and it had 37,000 hours.
The Columbia Helicopters 107's are probably far over those hours and keep on flogging about the World.
Heh, the Hueys I flew in training at Whiting Field (35 years ago) weren't young and they got worked hard. I am not sure what etudiant is using as a point of reference.
