UH-1

Hey all,
Just wondering, I've seen and been lucky to hear an Iriquoi flying around Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills district: Sydney... Any ideas what its up to or where it flies to-from?

Cheers!

A quick google search may give you some answers regarding the Iroquois

Bankstown - Heli Aust.

Also, does your name refer to road bike componentry on the Giant range?
I'm thinking derailleurs, drivetrain, groupset - even though Shimano are the parent company.

Hevilift also have several Bell 214 super hueys that come down for the fire season. Awesome sound!

Trojan.. Not to split hairs, but the 214B1's are owned and operated by McDermott Aviation out of Cooroy in QLD.. The 214B1's are a dying breed (no more parts in manufacture)..

There are a few 204's and 205's around the traps. Furthermore there's quite a few B212's doing the rounds which many people confuse for the single engine variety at first glance. Even the general public can easily confuse a B412 (my current weapon of choice) for a Huey at first glance until you see the 4 blades and 2 donks..
