VF,

A real "mans" helicopter - no plastic. It should be an SA315B - before the days of AS. Still holds the world altitude record 12,442 m in 1972!!

I think Switzerland ( ~ 20 still registered) and India are the last bastion of the Lama.

Look out for the Cheetal with the "fat" engine. Hopefully they get it up and running.

Hi RVDT.............thanks for Your inputs & picture :cool: I believe the highest ever for a Helicopter was flown by Fred North in a B2 to 42,500' (12,879m) :eek: my highest flown was a mere 28,500' (8,636m) in a B3+ :8
Fred North | World Altitude Record ? 42,500FT :D

VF,

Freds record is a "personal" one and not "officially" recognised and some of the attempt was handled a little "carelessly" shall we say. Where is the evidence?

More mouth than trousers? Wanna buy a bridge?

The "official" record still stands with the Lama. :ok:

Nite
 

Hey RVDT....so You reckon it was faked?? :ooh:

Arrrj

Your new office looks nice VF :ok:.

Are the tinted windows affecting the photos you take? I hope not, I always look forward to your photos

How you liking the 130 Steve?

I reckon it is better in the hover than the 350 - but as you know I have about 30 minutes in one and 2 hours in the other. I was told the cross-section of the tailboom was modified but I have not verified.

Haha, fair enough buddy! :)

I see you bought the wife a vibrator.

Hey Arrrj...primerly HEMS style medevacs, but yes the odd charter :ok:
