Didn't think there were any 61's still allowed to operate offshore in Norway, or maybe they just fell out of fashion.
Are my eyes deceiving me or does one of the above pictures show Carson blades (blades look different in the two shots). With the blades and better avionics Norway will wonder why they paid ten times as much for an S92 to do the same thing.

What are the benefits of the Carson blades? Any Vne increase? Any internal or external MGW increase? Reduced fuel burn in cruise? Reduced vibration?
What are the benefits of the SAGEM glass cockpit? Does it mainly replace the ADI and HSI? Any coupling to an auto pilot?
Thanks for the info.
cheers,

Rumour has it that CHC had wet-leased this aircraft, but the Unions stopped it from operating - must be they don't like Canadians in the Norwegian sector!
So, mobilisation and contract paid in full, then off to the next contract. Jolly good work if you can get it.
Who takes (gets?) the blame for this one?

A mate of mine flys in Bergen, looks as if rooter is correct. They had shop all set-up to fly on wetlease with CHC for a short contract. Unions had the final say, NO. Appears as if they packed up the next day and departed for Canada.
Someone getting a large bill for sure, ouch.
