Morning kingrat

You cannot compare the 2 machines. the Jettie is a Queen of the Classic Skies......once mastered is a Gem of an ole Lady :ok: The Squirrel is amazing, super easy to fly, powerful, maneuverable, forgiving & profoundly powerful....downside = EXPENSIVE to operate :eek:

Love 'em both, but for eXtreme hot-high work AS350B3e all the way :E

Happy Landings :cool:

Hey VF, is this you?

Hey krypton john

Yep sure was......& great fun too :D

Hey VF, this is a scary... a near new B3 and the boy's are tabbing the blades??????, in my experience this is rear unless there has been a blade change or someone has damaged a blade..my thoughts only:sad::eek:

JD,

Actually not that unusual. Any helicopter tracked as acceptable at Sea Level will
normally require a tweak at "high altitude".

High altitude of course is a relative term depending where you happen to be!

Thanks RVDT, just that machine has been there for little while, and they are still tracking it!!!!, anyway just my observation, may be I'm getting old a twitchie:confused:

Hi Jungledog

Hmmmm yep, 700 hours on her now.....no bingles, no blade changes, the moment I got to fly her Whoa, shaking the ****e outa me; hence a T&B :O
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey RVDT

Yep feels very different above 20,000' :} did a recon to 24,500; the other day for a new climbing route & she was shaking quite a bit :{
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G'day JD

Yaar been here a while, but noone complained about the vibes till I strapped her on & Waoh; too much, not good so it was T&Bed now good :uhoh:

Why do so many pilots fly with excess vibration, it is fatiguing & causes excessive wear on machine ( see previous photos for EXTREME results :eek: ) it is as if they don't understand, we see 70%+ machines with 2 ins split in track & vibes way out or Just! in tolerance

500e argh errr next question :confused:

:{ :{ :{ :{ :{ :{ :{

VF,
Your much-appreciated pics are generally pretty impressive (as is your saga) but your canyon flying ones blew me away. :ok:

p.s. Were you doing any heli-work in western Queensland around '89 -'90?
(Your face looks familiar, that's all.)

Hey Stanwell

Thanks Brother; appreciate the positive vibes....:ok: Apparently :eek:

& sometimes You just can't get home through the traffic errr mean weather :{

Smoke signals anyone?

I really like the little flag & the covers. You got a night light to keep the Yettis at bay too?

Hey clipper22

Yep they sure do.......needed very much; as there is many dangerous Yeti's prowling about up here :ooh:

Scarebus Vs Airbas

Ouch. Off to the VNKT boneyard?

Love how they appear to be trying to paint out the name...as if we don't already know.

TB

Good morning and Namaste Capt Steve,

Wow the snow storm stops the new brid form being seen almost, did it last for long..

Also the Turkish..sorry Unknown airliners wrong runway arrival, you must have friends up there who can get that flying within a few days, being Turks possibly Fishtails would suit that sort demanding work.

Stay aloft my friend, remember "Wind and feather" in that order:ok::ok:.

Peter R-B....almost back into a regular pattern of peace

Hey TrakBall

You don't know it's a BiG secret hahahahahahahahaha :{

Morning Peter
