Did you fly Bell 412 Serial Number 33-001?
Looking for information from ERA guys (or others) who might have flown the number one Bell 412. Drop me a reply here or PM me.

Perhaps Ascend Charlie should make his own comments!
From what I understand it is a well fitted out and refurbished machine. You can't expect too much from an old classic, I hope you are comparing apples with apples and not classics with EPs!

Are you looking for info on what it is now, or what it was before?
Hey, Twotbags, (what was wrong with IHD, anyway?) when I said I was unimpressed, it was compared to my previous chariot, of which you have some experience!

ERA thru & thru
This bus was owned by ERA from new until they sold/leased it to AH in late 2007. It spent its whole life in the Gulf.
Sounds like it is in pretty good shape for an old bus, AH did a lot of work bringing it up to spec I believe.
The ERA ex-chief pilot came out of hibernation to ferry it from the gulf for transport to OZ. I think he had a lot of history with the machine so it was fitting that he flew it on its final run in the states.
Maybe some ERA chaps could jump on and shed some light on its history prior to its reinvention on Horn.

Yeah, they don't chop trees as good as the 212 does 
Looks like the TR departed the scene as well, laying on the ground there with a few other bits and pieces. It'll take a bit more than a roll of gaffer tape to stick that back on
