Looks like self promotion and display of hours...... :E
Watch out when you fly, that hobbs hours and actual time corresponds.... !!!!!!!!!!!! 'Cause you could be paying high time for little effort...... :=:=
If you want to fly on S92, you better be good, would you like to fly 3 hours a month on that machine, and what about the pay ???? :suspect:
:ugh::ugh:

There are other companies in Johannesburg as well : Alpine, Henley Air, MCC aviation, Helibip in Pretoria/ Wonderboom, ........... careful on who you choose, AND ask about the instructors !!!!!

Good Luck
