Fishtail Blog

This is the blog of Fishtail Air that I have been following for some time. It is updated periodically and is a good source of news and updates about the company.

Fishtail Air Pvt. Ltd.

VF must have been busy with all the workload due to SAR because of the monsoon season as well as because of the added work as one of their helicopters crashed recently.

Good Morning fellow Rotorheads

I have been off air for a while, living in an Ashram across the border doing an intensive Yoga Teacher course for a month. 'Top of the World' - flying pictures will resume in about a fortnight

Wires

Hi VF, what are the wire(s) running from the landing gear to the tail strike please on the 350 for please? Also seems to be a wire running from that wire perpendicular attaching to the tail?

Lozz.

Thanks VF, glad I asked; and there was I thinking it was a foot wire for traversing the tail en route should one need to inspect the TR.
