Jet Ranger 206 Trolley required and skid floats

Hi All,

I am new to this world, I have just purchased a half share in a 1993 Jet Ranger 206.

I am only currently learning to fly, but use it for going to and from england on a regular basis which means flying over water lots.

I require the following items and could do with some help.

Trolley/tug to suit
Skid emergency floats

Any help/recommendations would be great

Just land it on the back of a truck---problem solved. This is how we used to get the aircraft back and forth from the office to the airport every day in Hawaii:

Gordy, is that you acting as ballast on the front so the truck does not tip over?

That truck rig is so flash you wouldn't even have to fly. Just bolt the skids to the deck, sit in the cockpit with a gin and have Jeeves drive the truck.

Lowest helicopter operating cost. Ever.

And lowest helicopter company also...took me 9 months waiting for a slot to open up with one of the other island operators. This company eventually closed its doors after a fatal accident killing 4 people.
