I have been a Bell guy for over 30 years but after a year or so in the EC-130, I find its a really sweeeeet machine. (www.papillon.com) This one gives new meaning to the term "Some Assembly Required"
Also I have mentioned this to others when it comes to paint schemes, find a guy who knows an Air Brush and see what he can do.. That is a very nice job.

Sorry about that, I've been waiting for some decent pics to post. This is the only airborne pic I have at the moment, taken by one of the engineers on the first flight. Not the greatest, but proves it flys! Thanks for the comments B Sousa, the boss is very happy with the paint scheme which is good as I hadn't shown him any photos until a week before delivery, I was going for Shock & Awe at the unveiling! The tail art cost approx $10,000(AUS).

So after a couple of months with the new toy, we want to modify it! Early next year we are looking at having an autopilot installed. To make room for the controller on the dash, there's bugger all room for it at the moment, we are also looking at removing some of the 'steam' gauges and installing a Sagem screen. I can see the engineers and avionics boys now.
