Hi there all the Huey fans!
Where are all the Huey rumours? Has all died down now?
There has not been any reports for some time now.
Keep us in the loop, well for the people who are not in SA at this point of time.
Are there any flying as the weather sounds like time to get the hueys out the stables and go for some joy rides!
Keep us posted!

Hey Rhodie,
Just heard the latest, the unqualified spanner swinger, always inverted, alias the jakkals,has consulted with the law school dropout, Latent heat, alias sweaty, to help him get out of the theft charge from Parys cops about the bucks and equipment scaled from Jannie during the SW 204 deal in which Jannie came out much lighter in the wallet than the Double G company promised. Also, the 54G usd that the jakkals scaled off the Omani's has been added to the list and it appears that jakkals has to answer to some farmers from the Vaalwater area about a deal he and the L S D, (law school dropout) did with the farmers and which there is still some outstanding rent and equipment bucks due. Now you wonder why the two G's have forgotton the roadside baseball bat deal, quite simple, the LSD and the jakkals had to flee Joburg rather hastily in the nite and in a bakkie borrowed from the his outlaws and because the LSD has peed off some serious Joburg Zionists in the legal business he cannot qualify as a snake and cannot come back to Joeees till some old guys in the snakepit croak of old age. All of a sudden you can see that as soon as the Latent Heat in Joburg wears off the LSD and the Jakkals can sneak back onto the Joburg scene under cover of darkness again and skin the public all over. Can you imagine how they are going to skin supervan the day before they head back to Joeeees. Even the scrap huey parts with homemade SW labels will be back on a shelf in the garage in Centurion without supervan even hearing the bedsprings creak.
Also, I hear the Sousa says that since Jannie took his helo to a real mechanic the thing is humming like a top.
Cheers

Tusker, im not sure where you get your info from but it appears that you need some serious help. Does the wife not please you anymore???. Your "hate opinion" is scarey man, lay of the LSD... it will only damage you.
Yes Dean, the Huey is back from where ever it was...plus there are more that has just arrived...these machines are going to grace the South African skies for many years to come.
So to all the Huey haters.....you have only ONE choice...."Like it OR ram it where it fits the tightest" Either way it will still fly.....and fly.....and fly.....and ......

....."Plus there are more that just arrived!" What bull! 
Apart from the Helibase hangar front that's been broken open to get the Frerlon out, there are no new Hueys. One of the mechanic's help tell's me that they can't get the ones that are there, registered or flying.
I see on the Avcom site that Gary van der Merwe intends sueing the SACAA regarding the moratorium placed on the registration of military aircraft, and he's inviting interested parties to join him in his proposed lawsuit.
Should be interesting to see how the SACAA handles this one. They better start employing decent council.

Hiya Tusker - rog. on the info...
Went for a drive for a couple of days and just happened to be in the Vaalwater area (and the Centurion area and the WonderTree area), and I must say the queue is forming and ready to move to wherever the Jackal and Co. might find themselves accomodated in nice little concrete rooms with striped windows.
Ah, the only clatter heard there is the tin mugs..
Also heard that someone went up to Zambia not so long back on a little 'fact finding' mission.
Cheers

Bucket of bolts or not...I'd fly the thing for free for a month in return for the type rating and experience. Any takers?
Rhodie - we still keeping you up at night clattering in on 35?

Hey Bossies,
You really ought to hurry down to the docks before the bad times get good, I hear even the tea lady has been given a rating on the Huey by another unqualified instructor at the non existant flight school doing a technical with an unqualified backyard mechanic without a clue about the basics in an un airworthy helicopter without insurance.
Also, I hear you have to sign your life away on one of "blatent sheat's " (alias LSD) rental agreements that charge you sales tax that goes into those long pockets of his so you may as well ask for a before tax rate. Unfortunately his short fingers mean that the real qualified drivers have to buy him wine gums so that he can join in the war stories while "under the boss's table".
Also, be wary of the corrosion factor, those "Ghost Hueys" have been on the water for the last 2 years being rowed out from the junkyards of various parts of the Americas, and LSD has sold bogus shares in them based on altered pictures of Jannies huey.
Ja Bossies, you have a very rosy future there, just like all the others before you who can talk so fondly of their memories.Just think of the excellent reference you can put on your CV for your next job.
Fly on the real Hueys.

Personally I think they have a money maker by the tail. The rest of the world will look at it like just another corrupt third world country.
1. Dysfunctional CAA
2. Questionable Aircraft
3. Questionable Aircraft Documentation
Try and sell one of these Junk Yard Dogs to someplace like the U.K., France, even the U.S. It would not be allowed. The fallout from that is eventually ALL Aircraft from SA will have the big question mark..
So LH, get back down under there and keep the boss warm.

This Huey saga is such a waste of energy.
They are illegal,the guys running it is a bunch of nice guys, BUT all conmen are nice.
The rope will become too long and they will hang themselves eventually. Just give them time.
Its time that the CT industry gets its lousy act together and do things the right way...by law....but I guess this will never happen seeing that everybody has some sort of tunnel vision going on. The Waterfront Boys are an emabarresment to the industry

Glimmerman..... ja wohl mein jung!
Not all the Waterfront boys are an embarrasment GA!
I think NAC/Makana runs a pretty regular, safe & professional operation. I, together with my wife and the 2 kids flew with Gary Wilson a few months back on Mothers Day, and I think he's about the only real professional down there. He certainly runs a tight and safe ship.
Elvis is definately all shook up and old Cluver is "clueless" for sure!
Who's flying for Elvis & Cluver these days? I heard old John E, Guy & Luigi are no longer with Elvis, and I heard that Cluver's got no more serviceable helicopters and therefore no pilots.
Mmmm, what a bunch!

Alwaysinverted, i never knew that you were married????? When did this happen???
Aaaaah, now i get it. Your wifes name is XXXX, the two kids with the lollies are XXXXX and XXXX????
Come on francois, we all know its you.
"ja wohl mein jung"
O ya Mr sousa, can you tell us the story of the time you worked for the Van? Remember when you could not start the Huey and then after some help you then went ahead and dropped a 12 meter pole (whilst doing sling work on the Chapmans Peak job) on some guys leg which broke it in 6 places????
Last saw you when you were on your knees under the Vans desk pleading..... No disrespect to you guys but its really so funny...

I agree, NAC/Makana is a slick operation and the guys and girls working there are proffessional.
The Waterfront Property company will have their day in court and Van and clueless will have to leave
Apparently Clueless has his only "servicable' heli operating in Saldahna for some "contract" and his only pilot is flying it- so no heli at the Waterfront

glimmerman : yep - they'll hang themselves eventually with that nice rope - I have no doubt about it. Problem is, they'll probably hang one or two other innocent folks with them....

Bossies -
Negative on 35 - I was on 17 side (app), but scored a little happiness due to the 'Gautrain' / Ghostrain / Gravytrain whatever suddenly being given the go a few months back.
My patch became the last to the buffer zone and suddenly became worth a bit more than I thought, got an offer out the blue, so put an agent onto it and waited for the queue to form.
Now staying in a little 6 bedroom shack that I havn't finished exploring yet.. (gotta get to the upstairs area soon)

As a matter of fact I can. First I will say that you are now pushing the liability of of banishment as latent Heat. False or libelous accusations that could end you up in the same mill as da boss.
As to the start of the aaircraft. It could not be started in NORMAL operating positions as the emergency governor was required. IF you go back through the threads you will find that it was mentioned. Not that I couldnt out of lack of knowledge, it just required something to bypass a grounding (one of many) conditions on that aircraft.
As to your libelous remarks of dropping a 12 meter pole on someones leg. That never happened and I caution you from further false accusations.

False or libelous accusations and further false accusations.....nothing on PPRUNE should be regarded as fact so relax.
Just as a matter of interest, the story of the pole and the leg breaking came from a close friend of yours that once flew the Huey. Just another rumour right? A real hard thumbsuck!
Please sit back and ask yourself how much damage you have caused a certain PART 94 operator with all your statements and opinions???
No hard feelings brother Bert.
