It was incredible that some nut case at Bell decided to put an aircraft as heavy as the 214 ST on skids, Alan Bristow took one look at it and declared them insane. We did however have one A/C in from a third party, that had a rear skid brake as it was being pushed out of the hangar, the resultant bang could be heard throughout the building, and brought everybody down from all floors.
It was very lucky that no one was underneath at the time.
