Make sure the wood that the blades etc are packaged in is treated before it leaves the States (due to strict quarantine rules in Australia)...

Also, budget around US$4500 to have the helicopter packed (B206) in a 40ft container and about another US$5500 for shipping plus local charges... Bax Global seems to be a good company.

Marine transit insurance is a good bet too.

Good luck...

Just make sure that the wharfies don't tie it down by the door handles like they did with CHC's brand new 412. D'oh.

Or borrow the cassette players, as they did with the Esso S76's

Or the 24V landing lamps (just the job for the Kingswood )

Or put a crane hook into the windscreen, Okanagan's S76 arriving at Sydney (after the obligatory slab had been presented and accepted )

the list goes on!!!
