bell 206 l4

[simonjamesdj]

HI all I am new to this so please help me out.
I live in Bournemouth Dorset England and I want to fly a bell 206 L4 can anyone help?

I would rephase your question, embellish it a bit more and maybe add any qualifications if any.

saying "I want to fly an L4" does not explain very much

Maybe Heli Air at thruxton...

Good luck

I have two of them you can fly if you want to come over here. One is also for sale if you are interested....

Hi and thank you for replying.
I have no flight time at all, This is something I have wanted to do since the mid 70s when I saw an advert on tv.
I have contacted Heli air but they will not let me start the helicopter which is one of the things I want to do.
So I am trying every thing I can think of to for fill my bucket list.
Once again thank you for your reply

Thank you for your reply.
I have contacted them and they will let me fly one but not start it or hover and land it they say that I need to book ten hours of flying time to do this at a cost of £8.460.
I did speak to a company in Lester that will let me do this in a standard bell 206 at a cost of £550 puss VAT but its not the helicopter that I want to fly.
Once again thank you for your time to reply to me

The L4 was introduced in 1992. What you could have seen in the seventies was an L or L-1, maybe only a B.
As for the rest...

I think you may struggle to find a owner/operator that will let you start up with no experience! The ten hours flying time would be the best 8k you have ever spent

Why not saving some more money to pay for 50-60 hours and do your PPL instead in it?
