Playmate of the Month - A JetRanger?
Some kind Chief Pilot at another company has sent me an Internet link to the complete collection of Playmate Centerfolds (1954-2006).
I am carrying out ‘due diligence’ on this collection and I have managed to get as far as July 1986 where I see the centerfold is a rather nice Bell 206B3 JetRanger, which could be registered N2282T, standing next to a blonde Ms. Lynn Austin who was wearing non-standard personal protection equipment.
There must be a story to tell there; after all it was only just over 20 years ago…anyone know what the story is?

sad end to N2282T.....
NTSB Identification: LAX91FA098A.
The docket is stored on NTSB microfiche number 44123.
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Wednesday, February 13, 1991 in SANTA PAULA, CA
Probable Cause Approval Date: 10/26/1992
Aircraft: BELL 206B, registration: N2282T
Injuries: 2 Fatal, 2 Serious, 1 Minor.
A HELICOPTER (BELL 206B, N2282T) & AN AIRPLANE (PITTS S-2A, N31512) COLLIDED IN MID-AIR DURING THEIR INITIAL TAKEOFF CLIMB FROM AN UNCONTROLLED AIRPORT. THE COLLISION OCCURRED AS THE AIRPLANE WAS TAKING OFF FROM RUNWAY 22 & THE HELICOPTER WAS DEPARTING FROM AN ADJACENT HELIPAD NEAR THE MIDPOINT OF THE 2650' RUNWAY. THE HELICOPTER PILOT SAID THAT AFTER LIFT-OFF FROM THE HELIPAD, HE BROUGHT THE HELICOPTER TO A HOVER & HOVER TAXIED IT TO THE RUNWAY. HE SAID HE VISUALLY CLEARED THE RUNWAY, & AFTER ABOUT 10 SEC, HE BEGAN HIS DEPARTURE. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE HELICOPTER'S FLIGHT PATH MERGED WITH THE FLIGHT PATH OF THE AIRPLANE OVER THE RUNWAY. FORWARD VISIBILITY FROM THE TAILWHEEL EQUIPPED AIRPLANE WOULD HAVE BEEN RESTRICTED WHILE ITS TAILWHEEL WAS ON THE RUNWAY SURFACE. AIRCRAFT TIEDOWNS WERE LOCATED BETWEEN THE APPROACH END OF RUNWAY 22 & THE HELIPAD; AIRCRAFT PARKED IN THIS TIE-DOWN AREA WOULD HAVE RESTRICTED THE VIEW BETWEEN THE APPROACH END OF THE RUNWAY & THE HELIPAD.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
INADEQUATE VISUAL LOOKOUT BY THE BELL 206B PILOT, WHICH RESULTED IN HIS FAILURE TO SEE-AND-AVOID THE PITTS S-2A. A FACTOR RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT WAS: THE S-2A PILOT'S RESTRICTED VISIBILITY RROM THE TAILWHEEL EQUIPPED AIRPLANE, ONCE IT WAS IN POSITION ON THE RUNWAY FOR TAKEOFF.
The docket is stored on NTSB microfiche number 44123.

Hillerbee, you're not very quick with the humor, are ye? Lord man, if there'd been a 12E...nevermind that, even if there'd been a mighty, shiny FH1100 behind her I would not have been able to see either of them!
How come you can?
Wait...I rather not know. (We Hiller and sort-of-a-Hiller pilots gots to stick together. Your secret is safe with me.)
