Spiningwings.....Nice to mention, but if Im correct lose both Hydraulics in a 205 and your answer is??
UH-1H without Hydraulics is not that big of a deal, newsfolks make things that fill pages.
Try the UH-1M with dual hydraulics and losing both is fatal. Probably wont see that, as would be the case in the 205, 412, but its nice to know that if everything goes (UH-1H) you can get it on the ground....
OR are you just poking to the fact that he is using a surplus Military aircraft vs a 205??
