Re: 'ROTORHEADS AROUND THE WORLD' : Photo Gallery

I have heard that the price will be between $100K to $300K.

They can be inspected at Karup airport.

PM me for contact info if anyone is interested.

I´m guessing the thingies in the backdoor are used for SWAT team insertion!



I have just received info that the frames in the backdoor of the H-500 is used for "fast rope rappeling"

I think that is a B206 JetRanger. I donīt think you can get a Kiowa with high skids and Flitesteps? Or what??

it's a kiowa as it has flat screens and side windows and not a wrap around single screen. the one i flew had high skids and flight steps.

Cool Re: 'ROTORHEADS AROUND THE WORLD' : Photo Gallery

Imabell. It is a Kiowa. Best way to tell is te rear cross tube. On the 206 it is actually up in the airframe a little. Kiowa there is not cutout for it to go threw. Talk to you soon G

Our offices

To All,

Take it from someone who used to work in a cubicle...our offices may be small but the views are tremendous. Even the worst day flying is still better than the best day I had being an accountant

Flying up a glacier near Juneau, AK.

I have remarked earlier in this thread about the fantastic quality of these pictures, the latest by Eldon is superb, showing the actions of the rawness of our natural world,

Jolly well done to all of you some brilliant shots taken on the spur of the moment without any sort of preplanning or lighting.

Flying Squirell,
If I mighet be so bold to ask, Why do you have two slip and turn indicators and why are the wings not agreeing with the AH, genuine question, not cheek !

(Not Squirrel) The Schweizer 300CBi usually flies left skid low. The ball on attitude indicator is showing the proper reading, the ball on the TC will always show out of trim.
