Give this picture a title . . . . .
 

At the new state of the art Eurocopter facility somebody apparently forgot to make the underground cable covers strong enough. Almost brand new AS-365N3, bet the owner's pissed off . . . .

The "Eurocopter" banner doesn't look very secure either !!

E.

"Things Fall Apart"

Potholy ****!!

Pfft...Just use a forklif to stand the chopper upright, give it a quick polish and its good to go...whats the fuss about:}:eek:

Man, looks like traversing the ruts for the door tracks caused the right gear leg to collapse like McCain on a treadmill.

Eh- that'll buff right out.

S'okay....I don't think anyone saw it..... :oh:

;)

:eek: ........amazing how much weight these blades will hold....

COMPAA PERIODSTICA ESTO, S.A. DE C.V....Mexico, thats the company that was waiting for their new pride and joy...:*

i dont want that one - its got a scratch on it!

Yea il take the red one instead, no scratches on her :E

Now that you mention it . . . . that banner does look like another tragedy waiting to happen . . . .

I wonder if the strap around the nose wheel was pre or post incident.

Not even ONE careful owner !!

Shop soiled ? Should I make them an offer ?!!!:O

Is that the tow bar that you're referring to?

Doh , sorry I did not look close enough , would the other end of the tow bar be on the truck .

Yes the towbar was attached to the truck, funny how they weren't using a proper tractor, and the mechanic was driving the truck, wish I could have seen his face as the thing started tilting!!!

:=check out those coning angles!

So I'm thick but is in this in Mexico at a Eurocopter facility or somewheres else ...like Grand Prairie? I know ...the barrier tape script appears to be in Spanish but there's a lot of Mexicans in Texas !!!

BlenderPilot - no jazzing up the story, now.... The subject aircraft is a 1993-build N2 Dauphin serial number 6458, not a sparkly new N3.
