Helitech'05

Hi!
Any Ppruner going to the event http://www.helitech.co.uk/ ?
Any flight display in helitech?
Did you register on the website and still waiting any kind of confirmation?
Is it a free event for a professional/non-professional ?

Best regards.

Im going down on the Wednesday. Im flying down with a few other buddies from our flying school.

As for the tickets and that, they were all bought on our behalf by our lovely lady at the school!

Im looking forward to it as this is the first year ive managed to go.

Anyone got any insights of must see's at this years show?

A deliberate impertinent response to:

Helicopters actually.......

Post Script
The last one was a very poignant affair as it was held just after The Eleventh of September. This years Helitech was preceeded by hurrican Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Helicopter industries, are getting some useful publicity for their machines good work. For that alone, the designers fabricators etc can be justifiably proud.

I will be there playing instructor in our simulator which we recently got FTNP 2 approval for. Come and say hello on the Aero Simulators stand.

I'll probably go up for a day, probably taking a fixed wing from Popham if anybody want's to hitch a ride (especially if they don't mind chipping in £20 towards Popham's increasingly frightening AVGAS prices).

Hadn't made my mind up, but if it fits in for somebody else (and the weather's okay), more than happy to schedule the 27th. The plank in question is a reasonably shiny PA28-161; Popham is only a short drive from Blackbushe as you know.

R22DRIVER: to me a "must see" is the AB-139 and the S-92

I'm arriving at Luton at 23:30 , there is a bus service to Cambridge so late? any web to check the public transport in England?

Best regards.

Thanks for that Aser,

Being a Lowly, low time R22 pilot its going to be great seeing some proper machines, experianced bods to talk to and new items to put on the wish list!


TTTE:

Can we come and play free of charge on your sims or do we need to fill your pockets with beer tokens?! ( Naive Helitech Virgin! Can't you tell?! )


SASless:

What day are you bringing in your big green flying machine with door mounted guns so we can all drool over it?

After a private discussion with AlanM, the pair of us are (Wx permitting) flying up from Popham on Tuesday 27th, returning same day. At-least one, probably two spare seats going if anybody's interested.

Is it possible to attend as Joe Public, or do you have to apply as part of industry (like at DSEi)

thanks,

Si

Tell 'em you're part of the industry, but they're pretty relaxed about proof. Tell them you're a consultant or something.

Fly-in details (such as they exist so far) at http://www.helitech.co.uk/travel/flyin.asp - note that us FW pilots only get 15 minutes per hour.

May I suggest meeting at around midday? It's a good time to go in search of lunch.

Genghis,
It's not a problem. If I can't get in as Joe P then I'll apply through work. (We do military f/w and heli elecronics anyway, including a lot of Merlin work. I'll just need the boss's permission before I use the company name in vain.)

I'm hoping to fly in with one of my students who wants to go; not sure which day yet; depends when we can get an R22.

Drat! Went in 1989 and 1995 but have not been able to get back since, often missing it by a matter of days. This year is no exception as leaving the UK on the 16th.

Oh well, I look forward to hearing all about it. Must plan 2007 a bit better!
