Let's not get confused, I definitely see a girl in last pics, but please tell me that Jet Danger in background is running on idle, (hydraulics off - of course) heheh :E

Keep on VF, we're dreamin' it - you're livin' it !!! :ok:

Well balanced. Just get out veeeery slowly... :sad:

I see none of your aircraft have wire strike cutters. I guess like everything else
the risk assessment is done on the job.

Hello Ye Olde Pilot ..................sadly they don't wish to opt for the cutter's. i've suggested many times, to CAAN also :{

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Namaste Savoia............Pollies getting permission to use Helicopters :} hahahahahahahahahaha :mad:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good Morning Peter R-B............we usually use legumes & beans in these parts :ooh:

Happy Landings :D

VF, regarding 'Jet Danger", I just can't help it. When the time came for me to switch to other types (212, 412, 206, R44,..), Gazelle already formed me and left other machines a VERY big shoes to fill.

I must admit though, seeing that 'Amazing Helicopter Flying Snoopy' on Youtube together with 'Top of the World: photos from Nepal' thread here, I'm starting to slacken a bit... a lot.

One other thing. A little while ago you said:

What is the reason of this slow start (at low) but outperforming AS350 at the and (at high) of 206?
Is it a matter of it's engine , or it's rotor characteristics, or both?

I'm apologizing to you and others if I suffocated the thread a bit.

Thanks

the JetBox Rocks
 

Namaste 311kph

the Jetbanger is one of the most under utilized machines at high altitude & DA, probably no one was game to push them where we do? :uhoh: oh & she (JetBox) is the safest Rotory machine ever built, bar none :D

Sure the B & BA is a bigger machine than the Jettie hence the higher carrying capacity, but as the DA & altitude goes up, they fall away very quickly, only to match the JetBox in performance at ceiling but at a much higher operating price :eek:

Cheers & always land back happy ;)

There are some other expert pilots on other threads who would not venture in to your territory VF.

The pilot selection interview must be interesting with your company.

I guess your fellow pilots have to fit the same parameters?

What I'd give to spend a month with you guys:ok:

Do you feed engine / airframe info back to the manufacturers?

VF

The hub is VNKT? Does that mean pilots are home every night? What is the schedule and day off like?

Namaste Ye Olde Pilot.....................interview process is a bit like any other, but the best is; be at the right place at the right time :eek: I was poached :ooh: Throw us Your CV, there's always a chance :ok: AS for feedback, they don't seem to care much as with 14 Helicopters in country, we represent bugger all :O

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey gcpilot8...................Yep KTM is the epicentre, but with weather etc. You could camp out anywhere. Schedule, schedule....what schedule? :rolleyes:

Cheers :)
