Nice FMS system taped to the glare shield. Makes one wonder about the rest of built in kit.

Hey Blender
A while back you mentioned crocs, or that croc dundee dude and reporters nearly in the same breath.
On the link below you will see one of the northern oz commercial rotary pastimes reported on by one of our better reporters.
Who owns the 206 I have no idea, too close to the salt water for me. Her hometown is where they have trapped about eight man-eaters since the floods this year. Not as many as Florida have found by accounts after their couple of little rain showers, but she lives about 400 k by water from the briny.
Katie happens to wear a shirt quite well. I met her inland quite aways a few years ago. She has recently been up in the artic circle chasing all sorts of animals up there? Maybe someone could con her into a bit of an exchange down your way. I think she’s way to much an outdoors girl to want to be mixed up in our southern traffic reporting?

There have been some VERY interesting stories written about this form of sport, all to do with protective mother crocs and scaredie cats egg collectors??

A question for the Sea King drivers:
I wonder why the front wheel is not in a straight position.
How do the wheels work? Aren't they locked in the normal position? Or are they retracted in the last position?

AS350 - BA7 - Left Hand Drive
Hey guys,
I have some left hand drive a-star time in C-FCCA. It was referred to as a BA7 as it was certified for 7 seats with an optional double seat to the right of the pilot.
It has some deficiencies though such as the battery in the tail boom for aft ballast to compensate for the extra weight at the front. If you're not using it with the double seat then she hangs a wee bit tail low in the hover compared to a right hand drive a-star.
The big bubble window is for vertical reference work. It works great for some body types but nearly impossible for drivers who are too short or too tall.
Hines Creek Area of Alberta in 2004.
