Helicopter with most hours on it?

Hi!

Anybody know wich helicopter has the most hours on it?

How about pilot with most hours flying helicopters?

What about the most experienced R22,B206,AS350 aso, driver?

You have any other "hour" record that would be fun to know?

Got about 2000 hrs myself in the R22, is that a record?

I believe there is a BV107 with 70,000+ hours on it. I wonder how much of it is original... (besides the identification plate)

Helijet out of Vancouver flies passengers with three S76A and they have in excess of 30,000 hrs on them. I don't know about the two for the ambulance.

I used to fly Sikorsky S-61N s/n 61222 and I know we brought it through 46,000 hours a year ago.

It was beautifully overhauled and was in great shape.
