Merry Christmas to you all.
Vfrpilotpb, I think the Icelandic Santa is the only one crazy enough to fly around in the Exec
I heard that The CAA cought him on his sleigh with an out of date airworthiness certificate a few days ago.
May you all enjoy a happy 2003.

Two old ladies on a bus in Dublin in the middle of the holiday season with bags and bags of shopping at their feet pass by a billboard that proclaims in big red letters 'Put Christ back into Christmas!'. One looks at the other and says 'Jaysus! They're draggin' religion into everything these days!'
Happy Christmas!!!

Chopperdr,
JPG's need to be hosted on a site, then a link made to the db. If you don't have a site, e mail them and I'll host them for you.
Helicopters Australia with tanks on B3's, whatever next
How much can they put in the tanks?
There is a large company in NSW called Heli-Aust, so don't confuse the two............

...bolting tanks to a B3? That doesn't make much sense?? the internal GW is so low already? Having an underslung load with a B3, and using that exceptionally high external GW makes the B3 compete with some Meduim helicopters.

sirs: the tank capacity is 1100L, the tanks are considered external load. the b3/ simplex combination is by far the leader in light single capability and will compete head on with most medium twins. the company was helicopters australia, a division of helicopters new zealand.
"the tank capacity is 1100L"
The tank capacity is 1100L, but what can the B3 actually use? The Simplex tank for a 117 is 1200lt (IIRC), but I've yet to find a BK that can actually lift that much
Sorry to be going slightly OT

350b3 simplex tank
sorry to get way off topic, tried to send a private message but to no avail. to answer your question, there is in fact a 1200L tank which i helped install on a b3 in spain. under the right conditions, low temp, fuel, pilot only you can get a full tank before reaching first excedence with the b3, amazing helicopter it is.
